Thank you for query.it may be a folliculitis or impetigo which is usually due to bacteria.So you can use topical antibiotics like fucidin or mupirocin.also you can give analgesics like brufen if pain .If does not subside you can give oral antibiotics after consultation with your doctor.You can get back to me for any clarifications .Dr Bharatesh
