could be sebaceous cyst which got infected. or it could be a manifestation of hidradinitis suppurutiva . Without examination of the skin condition and knowing the extent of involvement.. along with this more information on ongoing medication or previous history of skin illness it is not possible to comment on the treatment that would suit you best. Please get the problem checked thoroughly by visiting a qualified dermatologist. Hope this is helpful.
