Seems it's more apt to be bacteria, I've had it from time to time and it is bothersome but not a huge threat. Here's a web site that talks about it.

Treatment of Folliculitis


Sometimes topical antibiotics, such as bacitracin with polymyxin B, may be administered.


Systemic (oral) antibiotics are usually only prescribed for extensive infection, in carbunculosis, systemic infection or spreading cellulitis.


Furuncles and carbuncles may require an incision and drainage of pus.
