Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for writing.

I am Dr.Muhammad Ahmad. I have read your question completely, i understand your concern and will try to help you in best way possible.


I have seen the pictures these are infected sebaceous or hair glands.

There is nothing to be worried about here is what you have to do.

1) Keep good hygiene of the area.
2) Dont scratch them.
3) Apply gentamycin or any other bactericidal cream on them.
4) After they get cured do not let this area have thick hair.
5) If they dont get better with simple measures get a dermatology checkup for prescription of some highly effective more targetted meds.

There is nothing to be worried it is common issue or hairy area due to hair root infection this will get better in a week or so if proper med is applied.

I hope this answered your question, a
if you have more please feel free to ask.

Regrads.
