Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic
After going through your clinical history, I would keep a possibility of Folliculitis which is bacterial infection of the hair follicle.
I would suggest that you get a prescription for an oral antibiotic from your local care practitioner(penicillin group of drugs e.g Amoxycillin would have been my choice) for a week.
An OTC topical antibacterial e.g 2% mupirocin can be used twice daily for a few days.
