Thanks doctor for your assistance.I truly appreciated it,i would however like to know what are the requirements of being a patient so that i could be assisted by you.
You can get help for this, but you'll need to be patient, Amigo.
Folliculitis is common enough to be basically normal. Lots of people get red spots, especially on their legs. Treatment is difficult and often ineffective. Also, the redness hangs around, and if you mess with the pimples, it hangs around even longer.
In my experience what works best is to cleanse with an antiseptic cleanser daily and to apply an antibiotic ointment like bacitracin both to the pimples and to the nostrils. This is because staph germs live normally in the nose of many people and do not cause symptoms there, but do seed the body elsewhere. To get rid of these germs you need to give them a nightly bath in bacitracin for several months--just apply the ointment with your finger.
You should consult with a dermatologist as well, since an initial boost for a week or two with an oral antibiotic may help too.
But you will need to be patient, as I said.
Take care.
