Folliculitis is a common disease in our daily life. Since everyone's physical condition is different and the causes of folliculitis are also different, folliculitis can occur in many parts of the body. The more common parts of the body are the head, arms, face, and more private parts such as the genitals. When suffering from folliculitis, some symptoms will appear in the affected area. Patients should seek treatment in time and pay attention to changes in the affected area.

In this case, you can also apply erythromycin ointment for treatment and observation. Avoiding getting inflamed and eating spicy foods will help improve the symptoms.

Types of Folliculitis

Folliculitis on the head:

Folliculitis is more common in adults. There is itching or mild pain. The rash is initially a needle-sized, red follicular papule, which gradually turns into miliary-sized pustules with hair running through the center and an inflammatory red halo around them. Most pustules appear in batches and do not merge with each other. After the pustule bursts, a small amount of pus and blood is discharged and a yellow scab is formed. The disease will heal once the scab falls off without leaving any scars. Severe cases can cause permanent hair loss.

Facial Folliculitis:

Folliculitis on the face initially presents as red, solid papules, which quickly develop into papular pustules, followed by drying and crusting, leaving no trace after the scabs fall off.

Folliculitis on the back:

There is itching or mild pain, a small amount of pus and blood is discharged, and a yellow scab is formed. The disease heals when the scab falls off without leaving any scars. To deal with folliculitis in various parts of the body, use herbal external ointment and take Forsythia suspensa internally. Pay attention to your diet and reduce the intake of spicy food, seafood, tobacco and alcohol. Gradually return to normal.

Folliculitis of the genitals:

It mainly appears in the pubic hair area and is slightly smaller than other parts. It is generally white or red solid papules and does not produce pus.
