spots on my bum

nc as very embarrassing and posted for traffic

sorry if this is TMI but I’m just so embarrassed. I’ve had these painful spots on my bum since I was a teenager and I think they are getting worse now. I also get some on the side of my labia - between the fold inside of my thigh and where my labia starts.

theyre usually big and painful, feel like they are under the skin and start off hard and become softer and able to pop after a few days. They’re usually quite big - think 50p coin size and usually all towards the middle of my bum.
the ones near my labia are also hard under the surface and become poppable after a few days. I think they are both cysts?

Some of the ones on my buttocks get a crackly “coat” on them after a few days (like a clear scab) that can be peeled.

Its becoming so painful when I sit down on a hard chair and I’ve always had to just hide myself in relationships.

If anyone has been through anything similar please do advise and if you are a medical professional please do as well.
I know I can go and see my GP but honestly I am mortified.

Does sound like hidradenitis suppurativa. Please see your GP. There are ways to manage & reduce it if so.
