See this seems to be hair follicle infection
We call as folliculitis
So better keep the hair growth low
Rest it wil reduce
Just keep it dry
Antibiotics will not help now as it's already settled
So just keep it dry
Don't scratch or touch
Wash with normal water
And dry it up
It will heal max 14 days u can give
