What Causes Recurring Painful Lumps On The Chin?

I have a around 1 inch round lump near my chin which has just arisen. This is 3rd such lump in last 3 months and quite painful, also bleeds sometimes. First two got cured in around a week. Doctor said it is Phycosys Barbarine, though I am unable to find out any such reference on net.

General Surgeon,  's  Response
HI,Good Evening.Thanks for your query.I studied the query in-depth.I understand your concerns.
In my opinion-you have-Recurring folliculitis.I would advise -FBS,PPs to rule out the diabetes-which may cause its recurrent infection.
-If you shave with the barber -Sycosis Barbae-a psuedofolliculitis is the other cause.This is caused by the irritation of the barbers shaving cream and the ingrown hair.
-It differs from the folliculitis-and is also known as the 'Barbers ITCH'. .
Consult your skin doctor/family physician.
Tb-NSAID,Antibiotic,and anti-diabetic if your sugar is high.
-This would relieve your painful lump on the chin.
-Wishing you early recovery and good health.Wellcome again.
