Antiseptic soap preparations or dab-on antibiotic lotions and creams usually settle the condition. Oral antibiotics, such as Erythromycin, are sometimes used for severe of persistent problems. Any rash caused by friction or chemicals won't respond unless the underlying skin irritant is avoided. Pseudofolliculitis tends to get better once you stop shaving the affected skin or switch to an electric shaver.
A correct diagnosis is important in determining the best approach to treatment, so I would suggest seeing your doctor and, if you are not making progress, consulting a dermatologist for further advice.
