Greetings. Rather tough to diagnose with the limited symptoms mentioned. This could be recurrent folliculitis / or even syphilis.
Steps to follow:
1. See a qualified dermatologist near you
2. You may need us culture testing if there is pus / and a course of antibiotics
3. Decolonisation medications
4. maintain good personal hygiene
5. if recurrent folliculitis or furunculosis - get your blood sugars tested
Caution: Make sure you see a qualified MD / DNB/ DVD dermatologist for all your skin and hair issues. Donât be lured in by quacks. Know your treating doctor/ discourage quackery!Warm regards, Dr Govind Suresh Mittal. Bengaluru
