Doctor's answer:

Hello, the condition you mentioned may be a symptom of folliculitis. Folliculitis is an infection caused by Staphylococcus aureus (staph) bacteria in the hair follicles. It typically occurs in areas with more body hair or where the sebaceous glands are abundant. Initially, it presents as red bumps, which can later develop into pustules. When the pustules rupture, they form scabs that eventually heal.
Folliculitis is a self-limiting condition, meaning it often resolves on its own without treatment. However, you can apply a small amount of erythromycin ointment if desired. In most cases, it takes about a week for the condition to clear up. To prevent recurrence, it’s important to maintain good personal hygiene, bathe regularly, and stay physically active.
