In this video Dr. Mejia talks about folliculitis treatment. The word breaks down to hair follicle and "itis" translates to inflammation, which leads to Folliculitis being the inflammation of the hair follicle.

I’ve got folliculitus currently on my arm. Started out as a spot but got infected after Jiu jitsu. Didn’t think much of it but I scratched it and spread it all over my forearm. New pustules everyday. Blisters etc. the doc gave me fucidin and tbh I think that made it worse. I came across a thread on Reddit where a guy used isopropyl rubbing alcohol. 70% is vital. That’s the percentage that staph can’t take. So I started doing it. Put some on a cotton bud and coated my arm in it in the morning and before bed. On day 3 and a very noticeable improvement. Itching is gone. Redness has gone down massively and it seems to be healing. Yellow and green puss in gone. It’s early days so I’ll come back and update in a few weeks. But this is the first thing I’ve tried that’s made any difference.

Oh! Was it a new information that we should see a dermatologist? Then why did we watch your video and why u used the title treatment? Anyways fusidic acid or sodium phosphate ointments and antibacterial face wash used in mild quantity in order to avoid irritating the bumps is a better cure. Don't use alcoholic antiseptics or cider vinegar. Just don't forget to clean ur skin with antibacterial wash and then applying fusidic acid ointment thrice a day. Don't buy fusidic acid D ointment. Doctors even suggest minoz100 i.e. minocyclin, antibiotic tablets. Keep infected skin dry and don't scratch the area.

Doctors really irritate me. I've been dealing with this for a long time and all dermatologist do is give a rub on alcohol. First of all, it is no different than buying clearasil over the counter. Second, it does not work. I need to rub it all over my back and it is a large area to cover that you run out in no time, plus I can't even reach around my back,. Third, I keep telling doctors I need something to prevent it, not to just get rid of the pimples I already have.

[@skinandhairdoc]

Michael Williams i agree completely. If it is widespread you need a lot more than just a topical. There are other conditions which may require a biopsy and different diagnosis such as eosinophilic folliculitis , pityrisporum folliculitis, testosterone induced and follicular variant of atopic dermatitis. Diet may play a role but less likely. In some cases i will do a complete hormonal workup. Job history and work environment can also play a role.

I’ve had it for years as well. Wash your hair every 3 days unless you wash it everyday due to oily hair which is fine. Before getting out of the shower, run the water over your head in Luke warm water then cool then cold each time for 15 seconds. Dry your hair with towel or air dry but try to stay away from blow drying unless you must. This will work 100% Stick to the same routine. Sometimes I take an ice cube and rub it in the spot that hurts for a few minutes as well. Works like magic

It spread to my shoulders, back, arms and chest. And lastly spread to my head where it caused two bald spots that grew to the size of softballs. My face is clearing up. My arms and back are cleared up. My scalp is almost healed but the spot on my nape is a little slower in recovering. I only have the purple spots from it on my face that is now beginning to fade.
