Hello

Thanks for posting your query.

From the picture it seems to be folliculitis which is a bacterial infection of the hair follicle. However it wouldn't be constantly present since a year, it can be present on n off. Has it been persistently present since a year?

The treatment would be application of neosporin or mupirocin cream twice a day for a week.

Take care

Hello,

Thanks for your reply.

It doesn't seem to be anything else though. At times chronic folliculitis can present as a hard lesion.

I would recommend application of mupirocin cream.

Take care
