? Folliculitis: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without examining you. From what you described it could be inflammation/infection in a hair follicle. You may try warm compresses to make it "ripe". If it pops, you may use neosporin ointment for infection. Do not try to pop it manually. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex.
