You are likely a carrier of invasive staph germs. They often reside quietly on your nasal membranes. Adults randomly touch their face/nose hourly. Random touching eventually spreads them to places you touch/scratch. A doc can put you on oral meds and a protocol to end your carrier state.

Yes, definitely a good idea to see your doc in order to get a diagnosis and proper treatment. Such conditions may become refractory and initiating proper treatment may help. Your condition is suggestive of hidradenitis suppurativa among others.
