Hi
Seems like you are developing recurrent lesions of folliculitis over your legs.
These are basically infective lesions due to a bacteria infection.
Do not apply any oils or creams over them.
Keep the affected area clean and dry.
Apply a topical antibiotic cream over the lesions.
Sometimes short term courses of oral antibiotics are also required.
Wear cotton clothes to prevent any further friction and increase in the lesions.
