Hi.
Thanks for your query.
The bumps you described looks to be multiple furuncles/ boils.
By pressing in immature stage you have disturbed the natural defense mechanism and now it is inflamed more to cause a typical pain and burning.
The are white as the tension in a close cavity make the appearance white,
A short course of an antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicines will get this OK.
You may please apply liquid povidone iodine locally to make the skin sterile so that the secondary infection is avoided.
