Brief Answer:
Skin infection....

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I have gone through the medical data you provided and I've looked at the photo you uploaded carefully.

The small open sores around eye that is reddish are due to infected hair follicle. The "small bombs" under skin behind ears and on scalp might be swollen lymph-nodes, most probably due to such infection unless other upper respiratory problems are present (sore throat, ear ache, etc.) or other symptoms like itching are present.

The small bumps you have on pubic area might be due to infected hair follicles or lice infestation. You can send a photo for a more specific judgement.

Overall, what you are experiencing is skin infection. A course of oral antibiotics is needed together with applying local:
- hygienic measures
- antibiotic cream

Further consultation with dermatologist is needed to obtain prescription.

Wish fast recovery!
