Hi,

It may be folliculitis or impetigo having tendency to recure. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. Thorough examination and investigations may be needed to confirm the diagnosis. A course of antibiotic and anti inflammatory drugs might improve the condition.

Hope this helps.
