The description of the lesions suggests that the lesions is inflammatory in nature and one probable diagnosis is furunculosis. Furunculosis is an infection of the hair follicle.It 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 help.Regards
