Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.

i can understand your concern. This looks like a case of infected folliculitis which gets worsened by the razor usage. A course of antibiotic like augmentin for five days is required as pus is present. Change your razor after each use and use a good gel or foam.
Hope this helps. Thanks for choosing HCM
