The type of fungal infection characterized by red papules or spots at the opening of hair follicles is known as folliculitis. This condition is often caused by a fungal organism, such as Malassezia, or by bacteria. It typically presents as inflamed, itchy bumps and can occur on various areas of the body, particularly where hair is present. Treatment usually involves antifungal medications or topical solutions to address the infection.
