How long does it take for folliculitus (folliculitis) to go away?
and When it's gone, do i have to worry about it coming back?
Will it come back?
Please help.
Thank you.

Hi

Treatment of folliculitis includes hot compresses, antibiotic course, anti-itch creams and antifungal medications to control the infection. Resolution depends on the cause and severity of infection and may vary from a few days to a few weeks. Complicated cases may need a few months for complete resolution.  Usually folliculitis usually responds well to treatment, but may recur and spread to other body parts.

Hope it helps. Take care

Are you saying that it might come back or probably will?
About how much of a chance will it come back?
