Clustered red, pus-filled bumps may be due to a bacterial skin infection like folliculitis or a small boil (furuncle). If doxycycline (Dox) is not helping, the infection may need a different antibiotic or local treatment. Keep the area clean, avoid squeezing, apply warm compresses 2?3 times daily, and use an antiseptic or antibiotic ointment. If it is painful, spreading, or not improving in a few days, consult a doctor for proper evaluation, possible culture test, or drainage if needed.
