What should I do if my pubic hair follicles are red and swollen?

Recently, many female friends have reported that their pubic hair follicles are red and swollen, which is most likely caused by pubic folliculitis. So what is pubic folliculitis, what are the symptoms of pubic folliculitis, how should pubic folliculitis be treated, etc. We will explain these questions in detail in the following article to help everyone better understand pubic folliculitis.

The initial symptoms of folliculitis pubicus are pinhead-sized red, solid papules that are itchy and surrounded by obvious inflammatory redness. They quickly turn into millet-sized pustules with hair running through the center. Most pustules appear in batches and do not merge with each other. The blister walls are thin, and there is a small amount of purulent secretion after the pustules rupture. The patient feels itchy and mildly stinging. After a few days, the pustules dry up and form yellow scabs. The disease heals as soon as the scabs fall off, leaving no scars, but it is easy to relapse. If the inflammation worsens, furuncles may form.

The pathogens of folliculitis are mainly Staphylococcus aureus, occasionally Staphylococcus epidermidis, Streptococcus, Pseudomonas and Escherichia coli. To prevent damage caused by pulling, rubbing, and scratching of hair, keep the skin clean and hygienic, and limit spicy and irritating foods.

When treating pubic folliculitis, you can use Fu Pingle, a pure Chinese medicine preparation. Do not use drugs containing hormones for a long time to avoid the irritation and side effects caused by hormone drugs.

Topical treatment with topical antiseptic, antipruritic and protective drugs

(1) 2.5% iodine tincture: For external use, apply to the affected area several times a day.

There is a principle to follow when treating genital folliculitis. It is best to choose Chinese patent medicine or Chinese medicine for treatment, so that the side effects will be smaller. In addition, hormonal drugs should not be used for treatment, otherwise drug resistance will occur and the effect will not last long. During treatment, you should also pay attention to personal hygiene and it is best not to have sexual intercourse.
