Hi kitty
The description you give mimicks sebeaceous cysts if they are not painful and folliculitis if they are painful.
Often such issues need to be managed by a specialist doctor… and you shoulnot be scared of approaching them…
Doctors often start antibiotics for such boils and at times may advice surgical drainage of pus inside.
A pic will be helpful to avoid wrong diagnosis.
Thank you.
