Based on your description it looks like a wax folliculitis which is a common condition. Sometimes they co-exist with fungal folliculitis and can be determined with more precision during a consultation. Kindly consult a dermatologist for exact diagnosis and treatment plan. It is also important to prevent their relapse once you have got it cured. You can opt for laser hair reduction in future.
