What is the difference between folliculitis and folliculitis?

Folliculitis and folliculitis are both skin diseases that are more common in the human body because their symptoms are similar, both of which cause the affected area to become red, itchy, swollen, or even have scars. Many people cannot distinguish between these two diseases, which may have some impact on the treatment of the disease. Therefore, people need to understand the difference between the two. Here we will introduce the difference between folliculitis and folliculitis.

Folliculitis is an inflammation of the skin surface caused by pyogenic bacteria infection. It mainly occurs in hairy areas and areas with excessive sebum secretion. The symptoms of folliculitis are mainly red papules, pustules, itching and pain. Treatment can be oral anti-inflammatory drugs. It can also be combined with infrared, ultra-short wave irradiation, and herbal application: such as fresh dandelion, plantain, purslane, etc. For a single folliculitis, also known as a boil, you need to pay attention to local skin hygiene. You can use a sterilized cotton swab dipped in iodine solution to apply it locally for disinfection. At the same time, take oral antibiotics such as amoxicillin capsules or azithromycin dispersible tablets for treatment and observe. If an abscess is formed, you can see a doctor in time and perform incision and drainage under local anesthesia.

Folliculitis is caused by the pores becoming blocked due to excessive oil secretion, or by the infection of bacteria or fungi, which causes the hair follicles to become inflamed. It is related to the constitution (the oil secretion of the individual's skin), diet, hygiene habits, and endocrine system. Treatment includes oral or topical medications, and instructions on diet and cleaning habits, etc.

Fatty skin care:

Skin characteristics: Fatty skin is caused by excessive sebum secretion, which leads to excess oil in the skin. The face is often shiny, the skin feels greasy, the pores are large, and blackheads and acne are prone to occur. The surface of the facial skin appears shiny, especially around the nose and forehead, which are prone to alcohol pimples and acne due to excess sebum. The main reason young people develop wine pimples is that the pores are blocked by sebum and infected by bacteria. Care suggestions: First of all, do not use oily cosmetics to keep the skin clean. Wash your face and bathe frequently. Every time you wash your face, wipe every part of your face with a towel until it is clean and spotless. Use water-based natural plant products to care for your skin. Especially avoid irritating foods such as high-calorie, spicy, high-fat foods, and eat more fruits and vegetables.
