Hi
You seem to have developed lesions of folliculitis . This is basically an infection of the hair follicle . You need to keep the affected area clean and dry . Wash it with an antiseptic lotion twice a day .
Apply a topical antibiotic cream like neosporin over the affected areas twice a day .
You might need a course of oral antibiotics in case the lesion tends to persist or increase .
