Brief Answer:
Folliculitis

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I Have gone through your query and viewed the image.

It is an inflamed follicle which seems coming to its head. I suggest you to use an OTC topical antibiotic e.g either Neosporin ointment or Mupirocin 2% cream, twice daily for a week.

Hope I have answered your query..Let me know if you need any more assistance.
Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
