Answer 1

You didn't say WHERE you have it, or what kind of folliculitis you have, but it is definitely an infection. Have you been treated with oral or topical antibiotics for it?

It is possibly infected again, so I would contact your dermatologist for a re-check of the area. You often times get infection in different areas after the initial infection, so keep an eye on things.

There are both oral and topical antibiotics that will help. You should avoid friction on that area while it's infected, so keep it covered to minimize the friction until infection is cleared up. You need to change the bandage often, and keep the area clean, too.

Here is information on nine different types of folliculitis and the way each is treated, so please take a look at this:

I hope you feel better soon. Take care, get well, ok? Ok!
