Hi.
As per your case you maybe having furuncles or folliculitis.
My treatment advice-
1. Don't squeeze the lesion, it will lead to new lesions.
2. Avoid any cosmetic procedure like waxing on that part.
3. Use topical antibiotic cream like fusidic acid cream (fucidin) twice daily.
4. For recurrent and more lesions oral antibiotics, anti-inflammatory can be given after consulting a dermatologist.
Thanks.
