Hi,
It seems to be folliculitis which is inflammation of the hair follicles. I would recommend you to take a course of oral and topical antibiotics and anti inflammatory medicine. I would recommend you to take tablet Cephalexin 500 mg twice daily for 5 days and apply Neosporin ointment on the affected areas twice daily. Also, take tablet Ibuprofen.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care.
Regards,
