Hi red bumps recurrent over the pubic area can be hydreadenitis suppurtiva.it is group of furunculosis which are beeded together.they are mainly due to uncleanliness or excessive moisture over the area.
They can be treated by atarax 25 mg at night.antibiotic twice daily and application of mupirocin ointment after saline compressors.use of minocycline 100 mg od can cure it.if no response go for surgical removal
