Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I went through your query and understood your concern.

I went through the image (the attachment was removed to protect the patient's identity). It seems to be folliculitis which is a bacterial skin and soft tissue infection. However, I request you to kindly upload a few more good-quality images of the affected area so that I am able to have a better look at the skin lesions.

I hope this has helped you.

Thanks and regards.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

It is folliculitis which is a bacterial skin and soft tissue infection. It can occur due to shaving of the pubic region. I suggest you apply a topical antibiotic ointment twice daily for seven days.

Kindly consult a specialist doctor, talk with them, and take medicines with their consent.

I hope this has helped you.

Thanks and regards.

Hello,

It does not look like herpes simplex virus infection (HSV). HSV usually presents with fluid-filled vesicles which soon rupture to form crusted lesions or erosions.

I hope this has helped you.

Thanks and regards.
