  https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/folliculitis/symptoms-causes/syc-20361634

  Folliculitis is a common skin condition that happens when hair follicles become inflamed. It’s often caused by an infection with bacteria. At first it may look like small pimples around the tiny pockets from where each hair grows (hair follicles). […] The condition can be itchy, sore and embarrassing. The infection can spread and turn into crusty sores. […] Mild folliculitis will likely heal without scarring in a few days with basic self-care. More-serious or repeat infections may need prescription medicine. Left untreated, severe infections can cause permanent hair loss and scarring. […] Make an appointment with your health care provider if your condition is widespread or the symptoms don’t go away after a week or two of self-care measures. You may need a prescription-strength antibiotic or antifungal medication to help control the condition.

  https://patient.info/skin-conditions/skin-rashes/folliculitis

  Folliculitis means inflammation of the hair follicles of the skin. Most of the skin is covered with tiny hairs which grow out of hair follicles. In folliculitis, many hair follicles in one area of the skin are affected. […] Folliculitis can be a mild, short-lived condition or a severe long-term problem. Folliculitis can occur anywhere on hair-bearing skin. There are a number of causes of inflammation which can result in folliculitis. […] Identifying the cause of the folliculitis will help decide what will help. General measures include: Avoiding things that aggravate the condition. Taking a break from hair removal until the folliculitis has settled down. Avoiding wearing tight clothes over the affected area, particularly if it causing sweating. Keeping cool and keeping folliculitis exposed to the fresh air. Not sharing towels, flannels or razors. Applying an antibacterial moisturiser (emollient) and soap substitute.

  Causes of folliculitis include bacterial, fungal, viral, and parasitic micro-organisms. […] Most commonly superficial and resulting from infection by Staphylococcus aureus use of antibacterial soaps may suffice as treatment for uncomplicated folliculitis, which is self-limited. […] Deeper infection and inflammation of hair follicles from Staphylococcus aureus generally require systemic antibiotic therapy based on culture sensitivities. […] Treatment is tailored to the underlying cause; hygienic measures, MRSA eradication, and symptomatic therapies are other important treatment modalities to consider. […] Folliculitis manifests clinically as erythematous papules or pustules around hair follicles. […] Folliculitis commonly occurs in areas with terminal hair growth, such as the head and neck region, axillae, groin and buttocks; it also favours areas under occlusion. […] Initial treatment for uncomplicated superficial folliculitis may involve the use of antibacterial soaps. […] Recurrent or deep folliculitis may require systemic antibiotics based on the specific organism identified.

• #9 Folliculitis decalvans – BAD Patient Hub

  https://www.skinhealthinfo.org.uk/condition/folliculitis-decalvans/

  Folliculitis decalvans is a rare long-term condition of the scalp causing inflammation and hair loss. Very rarely it can affect other hair-bearing skin such as the beard, armpits, pubic area, and legs. The prolonged inflammation that usually occurs leads to scarring. Folliculitis decalvans are the Latin words for inflammation of the hair root associated with hair loss. […] There are many different treatments available to control the inflammation, but unfortunately no cure has been found. Scarring, if it develops, is permanent. Treatment aims to reduce inflammation and prevent further scarring. Symptoms may go away, but can return and require treatment to begin again. […] Treatment is usually a combination of some of the following: medicated shampoos, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial scalp solutions and/or oral antibiotics, most commonly tetracyclines. Combinations of antibiotics, such as clindamycin and rifampicin, are sometimes used. Topical corticosteroids (creams, lotions, ointments) are often used. […] Using an antiseptic shampoo may prevent scalp infections caused by bacteria. A shampoo containing tar can also reduce the scaling of the scalp and improve the condition.

• #10 Folliculitis

  Folliculitis means an inflamed hair follicle due to any cause. The result is a tender red spot, often with a surface pustule. […] Folliculitis can be due to infection, occlusion (blockage), irritation and various skin diseases. […] Swabs should be taken from the pustules for cytology and culture in the laboratory to determine if folliculitis is due to an infection. […] Recommended treatment includes careful hygiene, antiseptic cleanser or cream, antibiotic ointment, or oral antibiotics. […] Treatment includes avoiding moisturisers, stopping any antibiotics and using topical antifungal or oral antifungal medication for several weeks. […] Treatment is to stop hair removal, and not begin again for about three months after the folliculitis has settled. […] If a moisturiser is needed, choose an oil-free product, as it is less likely to cause occlusion.

• #12 Folliculitis

  https://www.baptisthealth.com/blog/family-medicine/folliculitis

  Folliculitis treatment varies based on the type and severity of the infection. In some instances, folliculitis resolves on its own within a few days. In others, washing with antibacterial cleansers can reduce the number of bacteria on the skin and eliminate the symptoms. Your doctor may also recommend using anti-itch creams or applying warm towels to soothe irritated skin. Some types of folliculitis will return after treatment if you dont change how you care for your skin. For more severe cases of folliculitis, doctors can prescribe oral antibiotics. And if the condition causes boils or carbuncles (clusters of boils), your doctor may have to drain them to release the accumulation of pus and help them heal. Proper treatment of boils and carbuncles can reduce the risk of scarring. […] You should talk with your doctor if your folliculitis has any of these characteristics: It occurs with a fever or chills. It spreads to other parts of your body. It has bumps that leak fluid. It has bumps that are painful or firm.

• #16 Folliculitis Treatment & Management: Medical Care, Consultations, Prevention

  https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/1070456-treatment

  It is essential to determine presumptive etiology based on clinical history, morphology and distribution of the lesions, along with severity before a treatment plan is devised. For uncomplicated superficial folliculitis, use of antimicrobial cleansers such as benzoyl peroxide and good hand-washing techniques may be all that is needed. Lesions which are more inflamed often respond well to warm compresses with or without the use of a topical antistaphylococcal agent. For refractory or deep lesions where an infectious etiology is suspected, empiric treatment with oral antibiotics that cover gram-positive organisms should be considered. For patients who do not improve with a standard course of antibiotics, other causes of folliculitis must be investigated. […] If systemic antibiotics are indicated, coverage should include S aureus since it is the most common pathogen. Because this organism may be penicillin resistant, dicloxacillin or a cephalosporin are the initial choices of therapy. Methicillin-resistant organisms are becoming more common, and treatment may require clindamycin, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, minocycline, or linezolid.

  Deep folliculitis is best approached with warm compresses, followed by incision and drainage once a conical pustular head develops. For recurrent and recalcitrant folliculitis, in addition to oral antibiotics, a search for a bacterial reservoir is important. Mupirocin ointment in the nasal vestibule twice a day for 5 days may eliminate the S aureus carrier state. Family members may also be nasal carriers of S aureus, and mupirocin ointment or rifampin at 600 mg/d orally for 10 days may eliminate the carrier state. […] The patient’s primary care provider can usually diagnose and treat uncomplicated cases of folliculitis, but for those cases that are persistent or result in scarring, a dermatologist should be consulted. […] Avoid shaving irritated skin for 1 month or until all lesions have resolved. To prevent future lesions, avoid close shaving and change disposable razors daily. In addition, periodically soak electric razor heads in 70% alcohol or diluted bleach for 1 hour to eliminate overgrowth of bacteria or fungi. Do not share razors with other members of the household.
