What Is The Cause Of Pus Filled Knots That Eventually Burst To Form A Cyst Under The Skin?

My son has had these knots scattered all over his body and some are pus filled and eventually break and dry up but some remain like hard cyst things under his skin and never come to a head and then eventually go away but then it starts all over again at first i thought it ws ingrown hairs because he does have alot of body hair or jock itch but now i am not so sure what it is anything you can think of??

Hi welcome to health care magic forum.
It appears to be the bacterial infection, may be over the hair follicles, or general due to systemic infection.
I advise you to consult a dermatologist for diagnosis and treatment. If not responding to treatment, you may need to have culture and sensitivity of the discharge from the eruptions.
I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms erythromycin, metronidazole, and vitamin A and D.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery.Thank you.
