Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Welcome to HCM.
I have read your query and understood your concern.
I have seen the attached pics also. Thanks for the same.
It seems you have got infection of hair follicle known as folliculitis.
It is an easily treatable condition with a 5-7 days course of oral antibiotics like cloxacillin/amox dicloxacillin etc.
Alongwith in such cases, i prefer to give topical mupirocin 2% cream twice daily over the lesions.
Keep the area clean and dry.
As per details, this is my best advice for you. If you have any further query, you may ask me.

Is this something that can be treated with over the counter meds and how did i get this?
Brief Answer:
These are prescribed medications
Detailed Answer:
I am not aware if these medications are available over the counter in your country. Usually these medications are prescribed by doctors.
Here i can only advice you but cannot prescribe you the medications.
Folliculitis is a bacterial infection of hair follicle that can be acquired from another person or from the environment. It is a very common and easily treatable condition.
