Brief Answer:
Folliculitis
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the follow up.
It is folliculitis, a bacterial infection.
I treat such cases with a combination of oral and topical antibiotics.
A combination of doxycycline and mupirocine cream works well.
You can take these in consultation of your doctor.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you
