Hi..

Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that you are suffering from a recurring bbacterial infection of hairfollicles that is caused commonly by Staphylococcus bacterial leading to Folliculitis..
In case if it keeps recurring after a month or so, you need to consult a Dermatologist or an Infectious medicine specialist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like blood test and scrapings from lesion can be checked under microscope..
You can be advised a long course of antibiotics and also a topical application of antibiotic and steroid ointments..
You can be advised to maintain a proper hygiene and use medicated body wash to clean the skin..
Take a nutritious diet and drink plenty of water..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
