Hello,

Your symptoms seem to be related to folliculitis.

It is an infection of the hair follicle.

I recommend using antibiotic cream for local application.

I also recommend using painkillers for the pain such as Ibuprofen.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
