How Long Does Antibacterial Soap, Antibiotic Cream Takes To Cure Bump On Penis?

Hey, I went to the doctor 5 days ago and was told I had folliculitis on my thighs. I also have a few bumps on the shaft of my penis and one bump on the head of my penis! I was prescribed antibacterial soap and antibiotic cream. The redness and bumps along my thighs have subsided but the ones on my penis are taking longer to go away. Is this normal and should I be worried? Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
