Since how may days you have noticed these lesions or bumps?
- Almost 4 months
Are they appeared first time?
- Not all of them. I used to have 2 or 3 such boils at regular intervals.
Are they painful?
- Normally not painful. But if I sit on a hard surface, the one filled with puss pains. Not all of them have puss in them. Sometimes it breaks and blood leaks out. After few days it again fills with blood/puss.
Is the skin around that bumps is warm/hot to touch?
- No
Any itching over there?
- Normally no. But if I scratch there, it gradually becomes itchy.

Brief Answer:
oral antibiotics should be given.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
From your history and description about bumps,it is likely small furuncle or boils and the they are mostly due to staphlococcus or stretococcus bacterial infection.
Since you are getting them at a regular intervals,I would advise that you should be given oral antibiotics (like cefixime or cefadroxyl) for slightly longer course like 10 or 12 days.
Mostly this kind of small boils resolve itself or with small course of oral antibiotic but they leave behind some 'septic foci' which is a medical term.
So,by taking longer antibiotic course,this infection will go away permanently most probably and thus you will not suffer from these repeated boils at regular intervals.
Also,do regular shaving of your buttock hair and clean that private part.
You can consult your family doctor or physician who may prescribe this antibiotic course.
