I have these painful sores on my stomach, and they hurt so bad. i think they may be boils or ingrown hairs. how do i treat these?

Painful sores: See your doctor. These may need to be drained and you will likely require an antibiotic. Drainage of any pus is the most important treatment. All the best.
