Hi,I have read your query and according to me there may be :
1)If they are filled with pus then they are carbuncles and you should start antibiotics AMOXYCILLIN-500mg+CLAVULINICACID-125mg thrice a day for seven days.
2)If initially they are filled with water-like transparent secretion, then this may be HERPESZOSTER .So you should start FAMCYCLOVIR-500mg thrice a day for five to seven days and you should consult a skin specialist.
