I get the exact same thing! They just started this last year. I had a baby a year ago, and I've been breastfeeding, and I have other skin problems like "KP" (looks like chicken skin) on the backs and tops of my arms. I am so tired of skin issues - especially when I have to deal with PCOS and weight problems.
The red bumps turn into huge swollen, painful cysts. They start getting so painful that I do anything I can to "pop" them even though they don't react like acne or other white heads. When I do get them to open up, they drain the bloody pussy stuff that you mentioned. I know this sounds so gross...but that is the only way to explain them. At first I thought they could be ingrown hairs. I get them mostly on my stomach around my belly button, but I also have gotten a few on my breasts. Since my stomach and breasts are the two points on my body that stick out the most (and my belt line of my pants rubs on my stomach), I thought that might be contributing to it.
Does any of this seem familiar to you too? I'm frustrated and don't know what to do about them!
