Hello,

How are you?

All the topical medicines like Neosporin,mupirocin and polysporin and antiseptics like betadene or dettol are available over the counter.Pls make sure to check your sensitivity to betadene first.If the symptoms do not improve even after using these topical antibiotics then oral antibiotics may be needed which are available only on prescription of a dermatologist.

Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing and if you have any additional queries.

Hello,

Your symptoms seem suggestive of folliculitis. Folliculitis is the inflammation of one or more hair follicles. The condition may occur anywhere on the skin.

Folliculitis starts when hair follicles are damaged by friction from clothing or blockage of the follicle. In most cases of folliculitis, the damaged follicles are then infected with the bacteria Staphylococcus (staph).

Pls keep the area clean and apply some topical antiseptics. Topical antibiotics such as mupirocin or neomycin containing ointment are also useful.In case the symptoms persist then oral antibiotics may be needed.Pls consult a dermatologist in that case.

Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing and if you have any additional queries.
