Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
Heat boils are not related to food intake.
It occurs due to an infection of the hair follicles. Heat, sweat, humidity and occlusive clothes can worsen it.
You need a course of antibiotics for the same. Wear loose fitting, cotton clothes and try cool water baths instead of hot water. Drink lots of water .
Hope this answers your query.
Take care.
