Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of skin rashes which occurs due to infection of hair follicles leading to folliculitis. It could be due to contact dermatitis and allergic reaction of body.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to make use of product containing benzoyl peroxide. Take Multivitamin supplements. Apply topical antibacterial ointment such as mupirocin and do yoga and meditation daily. Cephalexin is also an alternative option. Drink plenty of water daily and add fresh fruits and vegetables to your diet. Also wash your face with mild soap and cold water twice a day , exfoliate your face once a week. If condition doesn't start getting better in a month then consult dermatologist and start treatment accordingly.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
