Question 1

how can i treat the folliculitis in my eyebrows?

Accepted Answer

Antibiotics treat : folliculitis but r u sure of the diagnosis?-

Question 2

my 8 year old son suffered from folliculitis. he now has had a patch in his head for the past 2 months. will his hair ever grow back?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: The hair bearing areas are tolerant to some localized disturbance & will often regrow hair after the inflammation settles down.If significant scarring occurs, it can leave a hairless patch. If bothersome to a kid as they grow older, the area can be cut out & the remaining scalp stretched & re-aligned to cover the defect.

Question 3

do you think my skin under my penis head is swollen because i bandaged it up because of sores from folliculitis on my head? two days ago it was fine

Accepted Answer

Infected?: You shouldn&#x27;t get folliculitis on the head of your penis. Folliculitis is an infection of hair follicles and there are no hair follicles there. So the sores you had there, and now the swelling that is spreading down the shaft makes me concerned that you might have an infection. Suggest you see your doctor as soon as possible.

Question 4

what shampoo can u recommend for oily scalp? it's giving me a scalp folliculitis! :( all over my head. everyday. :(

Accepted Answer

Seborrhea: There are few reasons why you might have such a condition.
Try using Shampoo containing Ketocanazole, as it helps in sorting few of these conditions.
However, if the condition persists you might need to see your doctor or a skin specialist; you mentioned the word "Folliculitis" and this might be caused by infectious organisms.

Question 5

i am having scalp folliculitis.  it's is at a small area of head. i have heard that after the course of antibiotic, it does recur?

Accepted Answer

Topicals: Follicular does recur in people prone to it.  You should have an antibiotic cream rx from you doctor as oral antibiotics only used for severe cases not responding to a topical treatment.

Question 6

i got a little bump on my scalp that looks like folliculitis after scratching my head, and i already have folliculitis on my leg so i think it spread because of that and no caution. do i need to treat it?

Accepted Answer

: If it is folliculitis- yes- it would need to be treated

Question 7

can folliculitis on the pubic area cause a burning sensation in the penis' head?

Accepted Answer

Not likely: A folliculitis is an inflammation of the follicles usually associated with superficial bacterial infection.  Burning of the glans is likely due to another cause - maybe medicine you have been applying to your groin? Burning with urination is a different story and could be related  to urinary tract infection or an std.

Question 8

i am having scalp folliculitis. my pimple on the head has lessen. i am having small white paches. what is the remedy for the hair to grow back?

Accepted Answer

If there is NO: Scarring at the site, you can try rogaine (minoxidil). Lumigan grows hair quite well too; however, lumigan/latisse is a crazy expensive way unless this is a very small spot.  There are some other oral meds too out there, just ask your doc. Good luck!

Question 9

ve hiv pcr rna after 18 months of sex, 12 ag/ab tests done but still shotty nodes all over body and folliculitis in head. lymph biops shows reactive?

Accepted Answer

Easy does it buddy!: You don't have HIV. You're probably really good at feeling your lymph nodes -- everybody's got them. For folliculitis of the scalp -- I've had it for a lifetime, from pityrosporum. Stay ahead of it with ketoconazole shampoo if that's what you have as well. Find a gym or your favorite sport, hang out with athletes focused on health rather than sickness, work hard, and you'll stop feeling like this.

Question 10

can folliculitis on the scalp cause lymph nodes on the back of the head to swell? i have a small swollen node on the back of the right side of my neck but also feel several bumps on the scalp?

Accepted Answer

: Yes. Their primary job is to cleanse the serum that originates from those areas. They enlarge when they are activated.
