Hi,

It may be folliculitis most probably.

Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment.

You may take a course of antibiotic like Cephalexin. Apply antibiotic cream like Gentamicin. Take a bath in Dettol liquid.

Improve hygiene and immunity.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
