Hi,
As per your query you have symptoms of red itchy pimple-like rash which occurs due to hair follicle infection and when pores of sebaceous gland filled with sebum, dead skin and bacteria get infected. I would suggest you start with the application of aloe vera gel and apply azelaic acid containing cream twice a day as this is a safe and natural extract of cereals. You should apply topical antibacterial cream. Apply aloe vera gel to keep moist. I would suggest you consult dermatologist once and get it examined. You should go for antibiotics (Clindamycin), a corticosteroid ointment, and hydroquinone. Do not scratch pimples as they will get infected. Avoid exposure to sunlight and keep areas clean and dry.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
