Possible Folliculitis?

Over the past five years or more i have had a skin problem that occurs on my breasts.
It seems kinda similar to acne,
every pore (Which seems like hundreds) on them is constantly filled with black, brown or white puss.
I was told by my doctor it may be Folliculitis,
but i'm not too sure of this, i've researched it, but haven't found anyone with this same problem.
These sores do not go away at all, i can't seem to stop popping them, which i can say i can spend an hour or more doing so,
also sometimes some of them get swelled up and last for weeks.
I have tried different things for this but haven't found anything that works,

I was on Doxycycline for a short while, but i no longer have insurance so medication is out of the question.

Does anyone know what this may be or the cause of it? And maybe any form of treatment?

Thanks!

Staph or pseudomonas. Need biopsy for verification. Go to MD to see if you need stronger oral antibiotics, but I would recommend sticking with topicals like bacitracin 3x/day for 10 days. Last resort, try antibacterial soap with Benzo-Chloride 0.15% (dial antibacterial or lever antibacterial). Try not to pop them, just spreads the bacteria to new pores.

if it is folliculitis, then you'll have to take antibiotics to get rid of it because it is an infection of the hair follicles in your skin. Try to stop popping the bumps because that releases the pus with the bacteria in it and if it gets on your skin anywhere else, it could cause the infection to spread to the pores there.
