hi.
based from your description, yes, it could be folliculitis. this usually occurs after shaving or when a hair is accidentally pulled out and it gets infected. it could also be an inflammatory reaction which is starting to form an abscess. a consult with your gynecologist is best for clinical evaluation. also, avoid shaving and manipulating the lesions now. a good hygiene will also be of help. medical and/or surgical management will be directed accordingly.
hope this helps.
good day!!
