According to traditional Chinese medicine, folliculitis is mostly caused by internal accumulation of dampness and heat, which is combined with external heat evil, which fumigates the lung system and accumulates in the skin. The accumulation of dampness and heat over time turns into heat, and the flesh rots into pus. The pus and toxins flow and penetrate each other, causing the disease. It may be caused by a weak constitution, weak defenses against external heat and toxins; or it may be caused by unclean skin, invasion of wind toxins, and a stagnation of wind.

Inflammation. It may be related to occupation or certain treatment factors. Frequent contact with tar-like substances, or long-term use of tar-like substances or corticosteroids, as well as frequent stimulation of the skin by friction, are all risk factors for this disease.
