Question: Hello Good day I have been having folliculitis on my scalp for almost 4years now It has actually healed a lilttle but I can still feel some pimple like concentration on one particular side on my scalp and my hair itches from time to time What do I do to be fully free of this Is there any antibiotic I can useor sth
Answer: Inflammation of hair follicules can arise from infection by bacteria fungus from blockage of the pores or ingrown hairs

Folliculitis can be annoying to manage but its treatable Before commencing antibiotics its best to know what the cause is or if it appears anywhere else besides your scalp

1 Ensure that you wash the infected area with warm water and soap regularly Use clean towels if possible change them after 2 days or less
2 You can massage with warm saltwater 1 teaspoon table salt mixed with 2 cups of water
3 Limit your use of skin oils and other skin products change to milder soap 
4 Ensure a highly hygienic barbing protocol

If these dont improve your condition then you might have to see a doctor possibly a dermatologist to know if you truly have folliculitis its cause and be treated accordingly
