Hello,
Thanks for the query.
You might have developed furuncles.
These are deep bacterial infections.
Treatment is with antibiotics but the choice of antibiotics should be based on culture and sensitivity tests.
For now you can take an anti histamine like cetrizine to control itch.
Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
