Accepted Answer

Bumps: This can't be diagnosed with the information that is available. A history, physical examination &amp; other studies may be needed to determine cause/causes. 
Once accurately assessed a treatment plan can be developed.

Accepted Answer

Need more info: Your question got truncated so I'll answer the best I can.  In short, without more info it is hard to advise.  It sounds like a bite of some kind but the cause is often impossible to determine.  The treatment, if any, is often determined by what is possible in the area/season where it occurred.  This time of year in the US, tick-born illness should be considered.

Cystic acne: You may be describing cystic acne (http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/acne/multimedia/cystic-acne/img-20006234) for which isotretinoin (http://www.drugs.com/mtm/isotretinoin.html) does wonders.
