Hello dear,

The lesions as mentioned in your post can be due to:
1. Folliculitis (infection/ inflammation of hair follicle)
2. Blockage & infection of sebaceous gland
3. Fungal infection
4. Allergic reaction

Symptomatic relief can be obtained with:
1. Intake of antihistamine preparations like Allegra
2. Application of topical steroid & antifungal ointment
3. Calamine lotion for symptomatic relief
4. Antibiotics to prevent secondary bacterial infection.

However, the underlying cause needs to be treated.
If symptoms still persist, kindly visit a Dermatologist & get a proper clinical examination done to find the exact cause.
One more thing...avoid itching or squeezing it as it may further aggravate it.

Wishing you a good health.
Take care.
