hi there.
1. your concern may be furuncle.
2. its a bacterial infection of the hair follicle.
3. start using Tbact ointment twice daily on the affected area.
4. avoid dehydration.
5. once pus settles down, you can plan for diode laser sessions for ingrown hair.this will help you permanently.
your concern is termed as pilli incarniti.
