welcome to Health care magic.
1.It looks like infection / inflammation of the hair follicles (carbuncle / furuncle).
2.Looks like you are getting frequent infections - You need to check a complete blood count for WBC levels.
3.Depending on the size a small incision may needed.
4.Mean while a course of antibiotic may be enough to treat.
5.Get an appointment and let the lesions get examined and treated accordingly.
Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
Anything to ask ? do not hesitate. Thank you.
