An antibiotic is a medication that kills bacteria.

It might mean its not folliculitis, or that you have an unusual case of this.  This is why you should see your doctor.

It can, but you might need an antibiotic to clear it up.  Its also a bit strange that you can't pop it, but you shouldn't pop that anyway.

It sounds like its time to see a doctor.
