What Could Be The Reason For Having Knots On My Head?

What would cause knots on my head a couple of them swelled up I put a warm compress on it and I squeezed it and puss came out. Another
one is developing on my neck under the skin like a cyst. The hospital dr. Thinks hair follicle but I don't seem to understand why I would have it on my neck. Could that be from the nearby infected area?
