Hai, Possibly your problem may be due to Hair folliculitis or a superficial skin infection due to Staphylococcal origin or a furunculosis. A course of antibiotics along with vitamins, plenty of oral fluids, and bath using some anti-microbial soaps will help you to get out of your problem. Nothing serious. Consult your physician. He will help you and wish you a speedy recovery. Dr SM
