Brief Answer:
Folliculitis
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query and photograph.
It's Folliculitis, a superficial bacterial infection.
Just apply a topical antibacterial cream like mupirocine for 5 days you will get relief.
At present meeting a dermatologist is not necessary.
Don't pop it, else healing will be delayed.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
Thank you
