Hello. : Hello. I can't diagnose your condition. However, it sounds much like hidradenitis suppurativa. This is not an urgent matter normally but you might wish to see a dermatologist. If you you develop significant swelling, redness and tenderness of the surrounding area, or see red streaking or develop a fever, than that would be a reason to be seen more expeditiously.
