WHAT IS IT:

Folliculitis is a general term that describes conditions where a hair follicle becomes inflamed, blocked or infected. Folliculitis can appear as a light rash, significant, deeper red spots or infected lesions and can sometimes be triggered by more serious diseases, health issues or medications. 

​

Folliculitis can result when skin health is disrupted by factors such as: bacteria, yeast, viral or parasitic infections, occlusive cosmetics, ingrown hairs, steroid and other drugs, chemicals, immunosuppression or inflammatory skin conditions. 

​

Effective treatment depends on the cause, with some forms being persistent. General health and systemic inflammatory levels are worth addressing.
