Dear,this could be due to some infection of skin pores or due to oily skin causing this.Try to wear loose clothes and cottons are preferable.Drink plenty of fluids,avoid fatty foods.Take bath twice in a day.Still if not resolved please consult a skin specialist.bye.Do not squeeze them it will result in marks.
