I’m no doctor but research says that overexcessive sweating can cause them.

Better go to the doctor. Sounds like a staph infection.

Tink's avatar

Yup, go to the doctor they might tell you

Have you changed anything lately, like soap, laundry detergent, or a necklace?

Maybe it’s an allergy or stress, try cortisol?

This is really doctor time. The Internet is the worst place to look for help with medical issues.

Check the possibility of Mollluscum. It’s harmless, just annoying.

Could also just be clogged pores—that happens a lot on that part of the body.

If you do go to a derm, please be careful before agreeing to any kinds of treatments. Ask lots of questions. Have them test a tiny amount of the medication/gel/cream on you before putting it all over. Everyone’s skin reacts differently, and it’s horrible to end up with a worse situation than when you started.
