I've been getting these cyst-like things on my waist, mostly on one side. They fill up with pus and blood and stick around for about 35 days before they finally go away. It sometimes happens under my thighs too, but not as often. It's kind of worrying me. What could be causing this, and what should I do about it?

I'm really worried because I stopped using Panderm a week ago and started a new treatment, but I've noticed my skin has been getting darker. Right now, I'm using Tazar ointment, Kozivit Ultra, and Cetaphil lotion. Could this change in products be causing the darkening? What should I do?
