Hello
Thanks for the query and photograph.
You have developed folliculitis a bacterial infection.
I treat such cases with a topical antibiotic cream like mupirocine to be applied twice daily for a week and a course of oral antibiotic like cefixime 200 mg twice daily for a week.
This combination is safe and effective.
