Hello,

As you have repeated infection of hair follicles, you can take tablet Ciprofloxacin, tablet Brufen and Neosporin H ointment locally after consultation.

To avoid repeated infections, maintain proper hygiene, remove hairs if possible, and use antiseptic soap. Bath daily two times if possible, keep yourself cool, and avoid heat and humid environment.

I will suggest you to review back with detailed history or consult with dermatologist for detailed examination.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Shyam B. Kale
