Picture of female back folliculitis

When folliculitis first occurs, red papules will appear, and there will generally be varying degrees of itching and pain. The papules will appear in batches and merge with each other. Some papules will have milky white pus heads, which not only has a unique effect, but also has a great impact on daily life.

Methods/Steps

1

Folliculitis is a purulent inflammation caused by the infection of all hair follicles with pathogens. It starts as red papules, which gradually turn into papular pustules, which are scattered and slightly painful. In adults, it mainly occurs in hairy areas, while in children, it is common on the head. The rashes can sometimes merge with each other, and small patches of hair loss may remain during the recovery period.

Folliculitis is mostly caused by internal accumulation of dampness and heat, which then fumigates the lung system and accumulates in the skin. When the evil toxins accumulate for a long time, they turn into heat. When the heat is too strong, the flesh rots and turns into pus. The pus and toxins escape and spread to each other, causing folliculitis. It may be caused by a weak body that is unable to withstand the wind, a weak defense system, wind-cold, heat and toxins; or it may be caused by dirty skin that is corroded by wind toxins and wind-induced entanglement. Therefore, you can take some Chinese herbal medicines that can clear away heat and reduce fire.

For areas with thick hair, you can try cutting your hair and then applying some topical medications. Common topical medications for the treatment of folliculitis include iodine tincture, neomycin ointment, etc.

Male pubic hair is attached to the skin from the mons pubis to the outside of the labia majora. In daily life, because the private parts are easily contaminated with urine, feces and secretions, the skin of the private parts is often in a humid environment, and this humid environment is very suitable for the growth of pathogens. This disease commonly occurs on the head, neck, buttocks, anus or other parts of the body, and has a tendency to develop, often causing multiple sites, and is difficult to eliminate and difficult to cure.

In addition, the estrogen level in women during menopause decreases, resulting in low immunity of the skin and mucous membranes of the private parts. Therefore, if menopausal women do not pay attention to the cleanliness of their private parts or if there are abrasions on the private skin, the hair follicles and surrounding tissues at that point can easily be infected by pathogens, leading to vulvar folliculitis. In the early stages of the disease, symptoms such as pain and redness of the skin may occur in the affected hair follicles and their surrounding areas. As the symptoms progress, the affected hair follicles may gradually develop nearby light red pustules that are painful to the touch.

A hair may stick out from the top of the pustule (if there is pus, a small white dot may appear on the top of the pustule). Sometimes one hair follicle is infected, sometimes many. If the inflammation gets worse, the infected hair follicles can cause boils.
