Hi, thank you for posting.

Well, I understand your problem and I can say that your symptoms are caused by a skin infection, fat gland.
It is the possibility that your organisms immunity is low, that favors different infection.
To diagnose that you should make these tests:
1. Complete blood test.
2. Erythrosedimentation rate.
3. Glycemic level, for the possibility of diabetes mellitus, because this disease favors skin and other infections.
3. Skin culture.

In the end of the tests, when you get the results you will need antibiotic treatment.

You should contact a dermatologist.

Take Care.
