What causes folliculitis in the lower body?

Folliculitis is a hair disease that occurs on the lower body of the human body. This is because the underwear we wear is usually relatively damp, and the weather is hot, so the body is prone to sweating, so naturally we will encounter the problem of folliculitis. In this case, you don’t need to worry too much, just pay attention to reasonable control and prevention, and do a good job of personal care.

Detailed Introduction

In addition, the estrogen level in menopausal women decreases, causing the resistance of the skin and mucous membranes of the vulva to decrease. Therefore, if menopausal women do not pay attention to the hygiene of their vulva or have abrasions on the vulva skin, the hair follicles and surrounding tissues there are easily infected by bacteria, causing 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 disease progresses, the affected hair follicles may gradually form pustules surrounded by red halos and are tender 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 multiple. If the inflammation gets worse, the infected hair follicles may form boils.

Causes of Folliculitis

Folliculitis of the genitals is often caused by decreased immunity, poor hygiene of the vulva, and secondary bacterial infection (mostly Staphylococcus aureus infection). If you suffer from genital folliculitis, you should keep your genitals clean and take a bath frequently. Limit the use of alcohol and spicy foods. Eat more foods rich in vitamins, trace elements and high protein.
