Brief Answer: Folliculitis Detailed Answer: Hi, Thanks for writing back. The lesions seems to be a follicle infection. If there is pus building up then do break it with sterile needle and apply BACTROBAN ointment over it. Do not bandage the wound. Daily try to express the pus from the lesion. With this the lesion will heal in a day or two. Regards,
