Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
They are due to infections of your hair follicles. Make sure you clean properly during bath. Do not wait use soiled clothes or inner wear more than once. Wash them with dettol. If the swelling increases in size and become painful, please go and see a surgeon.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
