Mom should see doc: Your mom should see a doctor to be sure these are benign boils. The breast lesion particularly sounds troublesome. Please have her see her doctor.

Shingels vs Cysts.: Her doctor should be able to determine what is going on. It doesn't sound like Shingles because that usually shows up in one dermatome area on the body
