Folliculitis: This is most likely folliculitis your follicles are inflamed and its common. Unless its getting worse, your developing a fever or puss is coming out you can start with warm soaks ( warm water in a rag place it on there a few min then repeat) a few times a day. The folliculitis should clear in a day or to if not see your doctor.

Folliculitis: U most likely have either ingrown hairs or infection in the hair follicles secondary to shaving too closely or from scissors or clippers that weren't sterile. If there are just a few small spots, they usually clear with warm compresses, but see a doctor if they are painful, large, and multiple. You may need antibiotics.
