Folliculitis
The folliculitis is limited to the scalp only. I am real curious about the Flonase use ,but also read of a connection toi high tryglycerides, which I do have a problem with.
No test have been done, saw family physician, she only suggested a dandruff shampoo. I have been using T- Gel and Demerex.

Than you for your information. Guess I am not making myself clear, but could long term use of Flonase be the cause of the follicultis? Thank you.
Hi,
Folliculitis starts when hair follicles are damaged by friction from clothing, blockage of the follicle, shaving or too tight braids too close to the scalp [traction folliculitis]. In most cases of folliculitis, the damaged follicles are then infected with the bacteria Staphylococcus (staph).
Iron deficiency anemia is sometimes associated with chronic cases.Topical antiseptic treatment is adequate for most cases .Some patients may benefit from systemic flucloxacillin .
Topical antibiotics such as mupirocin ointment can be applied to the infected hair folicles.
Flonase is a potent synthetic corticosteroid often prescribed as treatment for asthma and allergic rhinitis.It is not really recommended nor needed to treat foliculitis.
