Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone through your query and have check the attachments. These are boils caused due to bacteria like Staphylococcus although a mixture of Streptococcus can also be present. You need to apply mupirocin ointment over the affected regions. Gradually they should recover.
Feel free to write back in case of further queries.
