Hair loss folliculitis

Hi, I have posted before about my struggle with folliculitis, and until now i have been through a lot of antibiotics and topical creams and shampoos etc. it has been around 2 years not , and i was wondering does folliculitis necessarily cause hair loss? i have not experienced hair loss until now, but i dont know if it will anytime down the road. Help is appreciated. Thanks

Hello,
These symptoms may be due to traction which is causing pulling of the hair follicles. Try keeping the hair lose or keep it in a moose ponytail. The scalp should be washed with a mild normal shampoo as often as desired. Antidandruff shampoos containing antifungal agents such as ketoconazole or ciclopirox are sometimes helpful. Apart from that you need topical and oral antibiotics, antihistamines, oral steroids and topical tretinoin.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
