Brief Answer:
Folliculitis lesion, release pus
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Iunderstand your concern regarding your skin problem and I hope I am able to help you in the same .
I have seen the attached picture.
You seem to have developed an infection of the hair follicle .
Since there is a visible pus collection in the skin, it will be helpful if the pus is released by some method.
You should clean the area properly with a mild antiseptic before popping out the pus . Also make sure you wash your hands well. You can then try to press it and remove as much pus as possible.
Finally apply a topical antibiotic cream like neosporin or mupirocin over the affected area .
Removal of the pus will speed up the healing process. Continue to apply the antibiotic cream over the affected area twice a day .
Do not apply any other cream or oil over it .
Hope it helps
