What Could Be The Puss Filled Bumps Along The Side Of Butt Crack Which Is Itchy?

My girlfriend has these puss filled bumps along the side of her but crack. They itch so i bought some cortizone10 but they only hurt when you apply pressure. She accidentally popped one with her nail and it was dark reddish/brown puss that came out. What could they be?

Hi,
It seems to be skin infection-boils .The cause mostly is lac of hygiene /skin irritation due to sweating followed by itching& infection.
She needs to keep the area clean & dry,should not break it with nail.
The open lesions are to be dressed with antibiotic ointment daily after proper cleaning & mopping it.
- a course of oral antibiotics ( Erythromycin) with anti inflammatory pills ( Ibuprofen) will hasten the healing.
- B complex & vitamin C supplements would help.
Thanks.
