Seems to be folliculitis, upload pictures

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to ask a doctor service
I have gone through your query and it seems to be folliculitis which is bacterial infection of the hair follicle.
I would recommend you to upload the pictures of the affected areas under the report section of the site so that I can have a clearer picture of the condition and can guide you accordingly.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
