Boils and painful pimple
I have a bit of hair in my breast region and i often get pimple like boil like wound in my lower breast region . It is sometimes painful and i dont like it for cosmetic reasons as well. Is it because of sweat or because of ingrown hair ? How do i permanently get rid of this problem. The wounds then then often form a white dried up flaky layer and it dries but the mark stays there forever. Help me

I'll need photos of the area to decide if it is folliculitis or hidradenitis suppurativa. If they are v small, could even be miliaria. History of daily habits like shaving, applying oil is important. Please consult online for the same
