What is Folliculitis?
Folliculitis is a skin condition that consists of the inflammation of hair follicles. The symptoms can include itching, pain, tenderness around the hair follicles, and small clusters of red or white bumps in the affected area. It can appear on the face, arms, upper back, and lower legs.
There are four different types of folliculitis: Staphylococcus aureus folliculitis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa folliculitis, Malassezia folliculitis, and gram-negative folliculitis. Staphylococcus bacteria are the most common cause of folliculitis, but being in hot tubs, fungal infections, and prolonged antibiotics can also cause the condition. Mild folliculitis may heal on its own, but more serious infections may lead to scarring, especially if left untreated.
The main treatment we use at SkinPerfected is laser hair removal. By getting rid of the hair and damaging the hair follicles, we’ll stop the folliculitis where it starts.
