Thanks for your reply its not ingrown hairs i get them bad only since ive had hcv i always take the hair out.I am gonna try and get to my doctors cause the pain is keeping me awake many thanks.
Lichen planus, a skin disease that can have a purplish hue, is more common in HCV patients than the general public. You should see a dermatologist and get a doctor's opinion. Don't squeeze it because that can definiteoly spread the infection (fungus) if it is in fact lichen planus.
The lumps are showing up where a carbuncle would - very painful. Do get them checked. You might also try putting "drawing salve" on them and see if that helps.
Sounds like ingrown hairs to me. Dig the hair out and it should go away.
