Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms seem to be related to folliculitis which is an infection of the hair follicle.
I suggest using an anti bacterial soap to clean the area.
I also suggest to cover it with an antibiotic cream such as Neosporin cream.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
