Pimples from dry brushing?

[Eeks]

I started dry brushing, not every day but whenever I remember, about 2 months ago.

Very shortly after that I had a huge boil on my back (which I never get). Recently I had an achy spot in my armpit that felt like a growing pimple (tender round spot little bit swollen) but went away within a couple days, never came to a head or anything. Also a similar one right in the centre of my upper chest.

Is this due to the dry brushing?

It could be. Not sure why it would happen, perhaps the intermittent brushing rather than regular brushing is promoting ingrown hairs. Usually if you get hives where you've never gotten hives before your digestive power is weak somewhere.
