How many showers a day is too many? i have folliculitis and wonder if taking 3 per day is to many. i sweat a lot and it's hot here. i liketo be clean

Good hygiene: Three showers a day is normal in some parts of the world - such as in the tropics. If you have folliculitis then paying extra attention to cleanliness is important - so I think you are doing fine with frequent showers. I would just be careful with strong soaps - your skin will 'tell you' if it is irritated, then you'll know to back off. See if u can keep cool during the day to lessen the sweating.
