Brief Answer:
Folliculitis

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query and photograph.
It is looking like Folliculitis, a bacterial infection.
I treat such cases with topical antibacterial cream and oral antibiotics.
A combination of capsule amoxicillin and topical mupirocine gives good results.
You can try this in consultation with your doctor.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
Thank you.
