    Hi, its hard to tell by the picture. Do you have any other symptoms. If they have white heads like pimples, it's more likely to be folliculitis. If you have been scratching, it's possible it got inflamed and sore.

    Try to keep the skin clean and apply antiseptic to see if it resolves. You can also apply Jock Itch ointment.
