Hi, You are right. Most probably you may be having folliculitis. Initially there may be erythematous papular eruptions followed by yellowish pustular lesions. Then the lesion might ruptures and scab may be formed. The cause may be bacteria...staphylococci. You may be having poor immunity. You consult dermatologist and have firm diagnosis and perfect treatment. Blood tests may be done to rule out DM,HIV,anaemia or othe immunocompromised condition. I suggest as follow.... - antibiotic like cefixime 200 mg twice a day for a week - anti inflammatory drug like nimesulide 200 mg twice a day - application of antibiotic like Fucidic acid cream - cleansing the area with antiseptic liq like dettol I think above suggestions might be helpful to you. Thanks. Dr. Ilyas Patel MD
