Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thank you for asking HCM.

I have gone through your query. Irritation of skin or secondary infection can give this. It can be called as acne also. You can do hot fomentation on it. Applying aloe vera gel is helpful also. Combination of benzoyl peroxide and aloe vera will be more better. Taking vitamin c will be helpful to heal it faster.

Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.

Thanks.
