Cheers for detailed treatment options.
Hi
Staphylococcal folliculitis is marked by itchy, white, pus-filled bumps that can occur anywhere on your body. When it affects the beard area of men, it's called barber's itch.
Bacterial folliculitis infections are usually mild. Mild cases of folliculitis often respond well to home care. Proper hygiene should be maintained. Antibacterial wash such as hexachlorophene and topical antibiotics such as erythromycin or clindamycin may provide relief. You may also try the following- Apply a warm compress to the affected area several times a day, avoid shaving, use antibacterial soap and over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream.
However, if severe (large area or multiple areas), your doctor may prescribe some oral antibiotics like cephalexin or erythromycin.
Hope it helps.
