Brief Answer:
Oral and topical antibiotic
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
You seem to have bacterial folliculitis. I suggest you to take an oral antibiotic e.g either amoxicilin or cephalexin 500mg for a week. In addition I suggest you to apply a topical antibiotic e.g mupirocin ointment or neosporin ointment twice daily for a few days. These are prescription medications.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you need any more assistance.
