Folliculitis

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query and photograph.
It is looking like folliculitis, a bacterial infection.
It can be treated with the use of topical antibacterial cream like mupirocine.
Apply it twice daily for a week.
This should help you.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.
