Brief Answer:
Folliculitis

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have read your query and viewed the image.

You seem to have folliculitis. I suggest you to use an OTC topical antibiotic e.g either Neosporin ointment or Mupirocin 2% ointment, twice daily. In addition I suggest you to take an oral antibiotic e.g either Amoxicillin or Cephalexin for a week.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you need any more assistance
