Hello,

It is very difficult to make a diagnosis without examination but some of the possibilities for your symptoms are folliculitis(barber’s itch) or perioral dermatitis. Folliculitis is an inflammation of the hair follicle, most commonly caused by shaving. Hot moist compresses may promote drainage of extensive folliculitis. Treatment may also include antibiotics applied to the skin (mupirocin) or taken by mouth (dicloxacillin), or antifungal medications to control the infection.

If however the symtoms persist after the above treatment also then perioral dermatitis has to be probed.Pls consult a dermatologist in that case.

Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing.
