Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
You are probably talking about Hidradenitis suppurativa, which presents as recurrent boil-like pus-like discharge abscesses resulting in difficult-to-heal open wounds and scarring. It commonly occurs on apocrine sweat gland-bearing skin such as in the groin, the underarms and under the breasts. It is also known as ‘acne inversa’. Treatment is by topical antibiotics and steroids. The disease can spread to genitals. It can also be due to staphylococcal skin infections. Retenoid group of drugs also help. Wash skin with antiseptic lotions daily to decrease bacteria. Local antibiotics of erythromycin and Clindamycin group also help. Wear loose fitting clothes. Consult a skin specialist. Take care!

Maybe it is Chickenpox. I've never seen Mumps, Measels, or Small Pox myself but you should get tested for them. You are very sick =(.
