hi
it is probably a boil.
a topical antibiotic for two weeks should suffice.
but they are numerous of them then oral antibiotics maybe needed.
in case the eruptions are recurrent then a fasting blood sugar may be needed to be done.
a visit to a doc is always welcome as it will help in confirming the diagnosis.
our opinion has been based on history but a look at the affected area is a must to come to a definite conclusion.
