Pimple: You may have a condition called hidradenitis suppurativa. It causes abscess like lesions to form in the armpits and pubic region. It also seems to have an autoimmune component. Treatment involves antibiotics, bleach baths and a new drug adalimumab. You probably should seek the opinion of a dermatologist to help diagnose and treat this condition.
