Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of red itchy blisters on skin which seems to be due to infection of hair follicles leading to folliculitis and it could be due to fungal infection as well. It could be due to blockage of skin pores with bacteria and sebum. Need not to worry. It could be due to compromised immunity of body which is making you susceptible for recurrent infection. I would suggest you to clean that area properly with antimicrobial agent. Apply little pressure on that area with cotton dipped in warm water to ooze out the pus properly. Use calamine lotion on that to resolve itchiness. Apply betadine over it. Use of corticosteroid ointment is helpful. Take antibiotics orally to prevent further infection. Your symptoms will start resolving in 3-5 days. If it keeps on persisting visit dermatologist once to find out any hidden cause for your symptoms.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
