I've had these spot things on my side, just where my waist band sits for a couple of months, had 1 (literally 1) to begin with and i mangaged to pop it like a cyst or pimple.. now theres a bunch of them.. Its only on one side and they hurt.. I or my family have no idea what they are.. My mum did suggest a sore like a bed sore?
(sorry for bad picture)

Could be shingles / chickenpox, they look a lot like what I had when I was in my 30's. Very painful, but I wouldn't advise messing with them. See a doctor - there are some good anti virals to treat the condition, but chickenpox can be serious in adults so best to get a medical opinion.
You can get shingles at any age, and you get it after having chickenpox. It's because the virus remains in your body. I've never had shingles (yet) but I understand the advice is to see a doctor as there are treatments which help.
