While anemia alone does not cause boils, it does make the body more susceptible to infection. As a result, boils are more likely to develop over small nicks or cuts. Iron-deficiency anemia can be mild or serious and should be treated by a medical professional. Symptoms of iron deficiency anemia include fatigue, fainting, chronic headaches, and general weakness.
