Folliculitis: Sounds like folliculitis. Which is an infection in the hair follicles. Mild folliculitis usually heals on its own in about 2 weeks. Avoid picking and scratching the bumps. Bathe or shower daily with a mild antibacterial soap. Avoid using oils on your skin. Oils can trap bacteria in the pores and cause folliculitis. If it spreads or keeps coming back, becomes red, swollen, fever, see a doctor.
