Need more info: Could these be ingrown hair? Is there any friction from clothes or activities that may be the cause. Could be have allergy to some item in your clothing? It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without examining you. If the matter is of concern, please see your doctor. Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex, if you have sex.

See dermatologist: if u have not done so already, be sure to see a dermatologist. a true cyst has a “skin” encasing the cyst which needs to be carefully removed to avoid recurrence. many things, even acne/abscess can look like cysts. further. The correct diagnosis would make a large difference in management e.g. antibiotics, steroid creams or even surgery. wud need to review prior history, meds, etc further too
