Folliculitis: What you are describing sounds like folliculitis, but there are many possibilities, including allergic reactions and insect bites and viral illness. If it is folliculitis, the first treatment is warm compresses. Sometimes antibiotics are needed. Best to see your doctor for a proper evaluation. You may also try taking a picture of your rash and sending it in a AskDoctor consult on HealthTap Prime.
