Brief Answer:
Oral and topical antibiotics. I suggest pus cuture sensitivity test
Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us
I am dr.kakkar (dermatologist).
I have gone through your query and I have noted your concern.
He seems have bacterial folliculitis. Folliculitis is usually painful and lesions have a pus point. I would suggest a course of an oral antibiotic e.g Moxclav 1gm, twice daily for a week.
Topically he may use an antibacterial ointment e.g T-Bact Ointment, twice daily.
The investigations attached are fine. However I would like him to get a pus culture and sensitivity test from one of the folliculitis lesions in order to guide furure antibiotic therapy, if required.
He should avoid hair oil and wash his scalp daily with Cetrilak 5% shampoo Or Betadine AD shampoo.
Regards
