Hello ma'am and welcome.
If this presentation was observed after shaving, and there is pus oozing from these boil-like presentations, then this could be folliculitis, which is inflammation and even possible infection of hair follicles.
You may require antibiotic coverage, but in the meantime, keep the region clean and dry, take warm sitz baths with epsom salt in it, and apply a warm compress to the affected region several times a day.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
