Hello,
Thanks for the query.
You might have developed folliculitis.
These are deep bacterial infections.
Treatment is with antibiotics.
The choice of antibiotics should be based on culture and sensitivity tests done on the pus
Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
