Hello,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic. From your Query i understood that you are suffering from folliculitis. It is the inflammation of hair follicle cells. It may be caused by bacteria called staphylococcus. As you are obese you are at high risk for follicular infection. Apply mupirocin ointment topically. If not controlled then only culture sensitivity and other investigations are essential. Good personal hygiene and hand wash with antibacterial soaps are nesessary to avoid recurrence after treatment.
Hope this helps.
Take care
