Brief Answer: details below Detailed Answer: Hello Thanks for the query and photograph. It appears you are suffering from recurrent folliculitis. It is a bacterial infection. Please take a course of antibiotic. You can take tablet cefixime 200 mg twice daily and tablet cetrizine once daily for 5 days. Also apply ointment mupirocine twice daily for 5 days. This may give you relief. Let me know if you have any other doubts. Thank you
