There are two possible causes of such lesions.It may be due to folliculitis which is an infection of the hair follicle. The second possiblity is hidradenitis suppuritiva. Both the conditions can be treated with topical antibacterial creams like mupirocin.You must avoid pricking or fiddling with them. A short course of oral antibiotic like azithromycin might also be used. Regards.
