Exam needed: These appear to be either pustules due to infected hair follicles or infected inclusion cysts. Since they have not resolved after all this time, I recommend that a physician examine you and determine whether a course of an antibiotic like dicloxacillin,an effective antistaphyllococcal antibiotic, is indicated. A culture of the infected material may be done first.
