Detailed Answer:
Hello. Welcome to Healthcaremagic.com.
I have read your query.
I understand your concern.
As per details, it seems that you are having a condition called Folliculitis.
It is bacterial infection of skin involving the hair follicle.
It is usually associated with pain amd tenderness.
In such cases, I prefer to advise topical antibiotic cream like mupirocin 2 percent over the affected area.
If severe, oral antibiotics are also given like Dicloxacillin.
I will be able to help you better if you could attach images of the affected area.
Thanks
