by cdizzle313, Aug 13, 2008 05:45PM
i had wat i was to believe an ingrown hair around my belt line above the pubic area. about 2 days after its appearance i decided to try n pop it which lead to the piece of hair coming out with the white stuff attached.. two to three days later the puncture area has become swollen and red with a ball like feeling...can you tell me what this is what it is from and how i can avoid this?

Folliculitis or infection of the hair follicles appears as small, white-headed pimples around one or more hair follicles. Superficial folliculitis often clears by itself in a few days without medical treatment. Warm compresses and anti-itch creams, can help relieve symptoms. However, if it persists, it would be best to see your doctor for further management. The therapy will depend on the type and severity of your infection present.
Although it's not always possible to prevent folliculitis, it may help if you avoid constrictive clothing, shave with care, or clean your hot tubs regularly.
Take care and keep us posted.
