Greetings. This could be recurrent folliculitis / furunculosis with abscess formation. Steps to follow: 1. See a qualified dermatologist near you 2. You may need us culture testing if there is pus / and a course of antibiotics accordingly 3. Decolonisation medications 4. maintain good personal hygiene 5. get your blood sugars tested Caution: Make sure you see a qualified MD / DNB/ DVD dermatologist for all your skin and hair issues. Don’t be lured in by quacks. Know your treating doctor/ discourage quackery!Warm regards, Dr Govind Suresh Mittal. Bengaluru
