Brief Answer:
Use a topical antibiotic

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

Perhaps it is a hair follicle infection - folliculitis.
I suggest you to apply an OTC topical antibiotic ointment e.g either Neosporin ointment or Mupirocin 2% ointment, twice daily for a few days.

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