What about skin folliculitis?


Healing hearts, one patient at a time.
If the skin shows folliculitis, under normal circumstances, it is necessary to carry out targeted treatment according to the specific manifestations of this inflammation. If folliculitis caused by bacterial infection is accompanied by obvious pain and redness, it is generally possible to apply some antibiotic ointment locally. Under normal circumstances, erythromycin ointment can be applied externally, or Fusidic acid cream, mupirocin cream, etc. Of course, it also needs to be combined with oral antibiotics to carry out anti-inflammatory treatment. Generally, roxithromycin can be taken orally, or cephalexin can be taken orally, and doxycycline can also be taken orally for treatment. At the same time, it is necessary to prevent squeezing with hands, because after squeezing, it may cause local folliculitis inflammation to intensify, or form a spread. The above scheme is for reference only. Please use specific drugs in combination with your own situation under the guidance of a professional doctor.
