    Without an actual check up by a doctor no one can say for sure.

    It could be herpes or it could just be boils that are brought on by sweating and bacteria.
    I was getting boils under my arm a lot. I had it checked and found out it was due to my sugar diabetes being up really bad. So there are many possible reasons without a actual doctor running labs you will never know and in this case it would be really good to find out.

    Next time you have one active visit your local doctor and have them check it and do labs on it.

    Good Luck,
    Bay

    Herpes sores are filled with clear, yellowish fluid. Boils have pus in them. If I were you, I'd wait until one of them comes to a head and get into your doctor's office. That way, he or she can lance it and discover the type of bacteria or virus that's causing the problem. I hope you get an answer soon!
