Dermatologist 's  Response
Hello,
It seems you have got folliculitis, bacterial infection affecting hair follicles.
Nothing to worry as you will be fine soon with the treatment.
I would suggest you oral cefadroxil amd clavulanic acid tablets twice a day for one week.Also apply an antibiotic cream like mupirocin twice a day over boil.Oral analgesics like diclofenac should be taken as required to relieve pain.Warm compresses will also provide soothing relief.
Avoid scratching or picking of lesion.
Hope you will get well soon.
Thanks
