become red and irritated, and pus-filled lesions form. Folliculitis can clear up by itself in a matter of a couple of weeks or become more persistent and thus require treatment.
An early sign of folliculitis is a small white or yellow
.
Mild cases of folliculitis are treated with antiseptic washes combined with antibiotics like Mupirocin applied on the areas affected. This should be sufficient to cause a resolution.
In more persistent cases oral antibiotics maybe required.
