Thanks for the query and photograph.

You seem to have developed folliculitis, a bacterial infection.
Apply ointment mupirocin twice daily for 10 days for immediate relief.

I would like to know few additional details to help you better.
1. Do you have any other disease such as diabetes or thyroid disorder?
2. Is this a recurring problem or this is the first time you have got these ?
3. Anyone else in family having similar problem?
Please answer the above.

Brief Answer:
Mupirocin

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the follow up.
Probably you and other family members have developed folliculitis secondary to insect bite.
Continue using mupirocin and try to find out the cause.
You can get your surroundings sprayed with insecticide.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.
