What is folliculitis

Folliculitis is mainly characterized by acute or chronic suppurative inflammation in the hair follicles. When folliculitis recurs, some small papules along the hair follicles quickly turn into pustules. At the same time, it is common in people with hair throughout their daily lives. It mainly occurs on the scalp, buttocks and some other parts of the body, so the lymph nodes in all areas are swollen. There are some common symptoms. In daily life, as long as you eat cold food, you can use systemic treatment and some local treatment methods.
