Hello. Thank you for writing to us
I am dr. Kakkar (dermatologist). I have read your question and I have also reviewed the image. I can see a pus point and surrounding redness.
This seems like simple bacterial folliculitis. I suggest you to use an otc topical antibacterial e.g. Neosporin ointment Or Mupirocin ointment, twice daily.
Regards
