Shaving induced?: Your sores indicate places you might shave. It is very possible you may have an old razor blade which was infected. You should make an appointment with your doctor. In the meantime apply an antibiotic ointment to the affected areas 3-4 times daily. Also start using a. Fresh blade when shaving.

Sores that drain: Bacterial infection of hair follicles can cause nodular, red painful lesions that open and drain. Bacterial infections must be treated with antibiotics. An antibacterial ointment is prescribed also to treat areas where bacteria can live on the skin to decrease chances of recurrence. These infections can be spread by shaving. Using a new razor (not just changing the head of razor) is necessary.
