Do small red bumps with no itching and pain on the skin suggest superficial bacterial folliculitis?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern. It seems like superficial bacterial folliculitis-like lesions. As there is not much itching or pain in the lesions, you can use topical antibiotics available OTC (over-the-counter) like ointment Bacitracin twice a day for a week and see the response. If it has severe itching, we can think about other conditions like scabies or papular urticaria. If not, use the bacitracin ointment for a week, and hopefully, it will get cleared. Take care. I hope this helps. Do revert back in case of further questions.

Yes, capsule Clindamycin should work as well, as it is effective against staphylococcus, the bacteria responsible for superficial bacterial folliculitis. Take care. Thank you.
