A member asked:

Can you tell me how to get rid of my folliculitis?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Find the cause: Some folliculitis is caused by putyrosporum yeast and does not respond to other treatments. A single dose of ketoconazole followed by working up a sweat can put this in remission for a few weeks
