Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to ask a doctor service
I have gone through your query and viewed the Image.
You seem to have skin infection of hair follicles- folliculitis/ furunculosis. I suggest you to take a course of an Oral antibiotic e.g either Amoxicillin or Cephalexin for a week. In addition I suggest you to use mupirocin 2% ointment, twice daily. Besides you may wash your head with a cetrimide 5% based shampoo. These are prescription medications.
Take care. Let me know if you need any more assistance
