Hello,
Thanks for the query.

You might have developed furuncles.

These are deep bacterial infections.

Usually they break out as puss filled lesions but may remain as such.

The scars are due to post inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

You can apply antibacterial cream like neospirin.

This may help you.

Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.

Let me know if you have any other doubt.
