Hi. Thanks for posting your concern at HCM
I would keep a possibility of folliculitis/bacterial infection of the hair follicle. Diabetes makes her prone to bacterial infections
In such a case she requires an oral antibiotic (penicillin group) for a week
along with a topical antibacterial ointment e.g 2% mupirocin twice daily which should make it fine.
I would recommend strict diabetes control for her in order to prevent these from recurring
