Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
You seem to be having furuncles, which is an infection of the hair follicle and its surrounding tissue.
You will benefit from a course of antibiotics like cloxacillin or cephalexin taken for 5 days.
You could also apply topical antibiotic cream containing 2% Mupirocin or 1% Fusidic acid twice a day for 7 days.
Hot compresses will also provide relief.
Hope these measures help you.
Take care.
