Brief Answer:
Use cortisone
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query.
He might have developed folliculitis due to heat exposure.
I treat such cases with a mild steroid cream like cortisone twice daily for two days followed by application of an over the counter available antibiotic cream for 5 days.
These creams are safe and effective.
This combination works well.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.
