Could be viral: It is possible herpes infection if not respond to penicillin, but you still need to see a doctor to get check up. It is also another possibility that this infection does not respond to penicillin.

Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. Your description suggests bacterial folliculitis and you may need a different antibiotic. If you have fever, you should consider going to th emergency room of a nearby hospital, otherwise see your doctor.
