hi.
based from your description, these lesions might have started as folliculitis, then became infected, hence the lump or cystic formation. if these lesions are bothering you, it is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a general surgeon, for clinical evaluation. diagnostics and management (medical and/or surgical - excision) will be directed accordingly.
hope this helps.
good day!!
