Dermatologist,  's  Response
The possible diagnosis from the description of the lesions is furunculosis which is an infection of the hair follicle.It can be treated with topical antibacterial creams like mupirocin.You must avoid pricking or fiddling with them A short course of oral antibiotic like azithromycin might also be used. Diabetes needs to be ruled out if you get recurrent lesions.
