Topical Clindamycin: You likely have folliculitis, an inflammation of the hair follicles. Minocin (minocycline) is often helpful but can take several months to be fully effective. You can ask your doctor for a prescription of topical Clindamycin solution. You can also try a tar shampoo like t-gel by neutrogena.
