Hello dear,
Welcome to HCM.
I have read your query and understood your concern.

It seems that you have got folliculitis. It is an infection of hair follicle precipitated by excess sweating and unhygienic condition.

I usually advise my such patients oral antibiotics like macrolides/cephalosporins for 5-7 days. Alongwith keep the area clean and dry.

As per details, this is my best advise for you. You may discuss this with your doctor. I am sure he/she will agree with my opinion.
Stay healthy.
