How do you get reed of follicle infection in the mustache and beard area

[Bhupinder Kaur, MD]

Hello,
What you have can be pseudofolliculitis barbae. Pseudofolliculitis barbae is a type of folliculitis which results from shaving. Treatment consists of letting your beard grow for 1 month and then shaving with a moisturizing shaving foam and single razor blade. Shave in the direction of the follicle, not against it  and at night, apply a lotion containing glycolic acid to the affected areas. This exfoliates the surface skin cells and reduces the likelihood of new inflamed spots.

In case the symptoms persist then oral tetracyclines and laser treatment are the best.
I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
