Hi Thank you for asking HCM. I have gone through your query. Your problem can be most likely fungal infection. I would recommend using anti fungal ointments like terbinafine (lamisil) or miconazole for local application. If it is on hair follicles then it can be hair bed infection and in such case a course of oral antibiotics like azithromycin will be needed. This is a prescription drug and given in dosage of 500mg once daily for 3 to 5 days.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear. Thanks.
