It could be either an infection called Furuncle , or Erythema Multiforme ( a part of Crohn's disease)
It would be best diagnosed on visual examination .
Depending on the condition the treatment would be either an antibiotic based to steroid based .

Please do visit a Dermatologist for further opinion .
