Thank you for your answer!
Sure you can take Bactran, and apply to the affected area twice a day for two weeks.
Meanwhile you can wash the area with an antibacterial soap, and apply hot and moist compresses to the involved area.
Wear loose-fitting clothes,and avoid shaving irritated skin. Also always try to shave in the same direction of the growing hair.
I hope this helps. If you are unclear please contact me again.
Wishing you good health!!
