Hi,
This seems to be a case of folliculitis, which is the inflammation of one or more hair follicles. Folliculitis starts when hair follicles are damaged by friction from clothing, blockage of the follicle, shaving.
In most cases of folliculitis, the damaged follicles are then infected with the bacteria Staphylococcus (staph).
It presents as pimples or pustules located around a hair follicle that may crust over,
typically occuring on neck, axilla, or groin area.
Topical antiseptic treatment is adequate for most cases. Topical antibiotics such as mupirocin or neomycin containing ointment can be applied on the infected area.
