Folliculitis: Where is it and has it been diagnosed as bacterial, yeast or neither? The answer depends on where and what type it is.

Agree with Dr. K: If the lesions are in your private parts, shaving may be noncontributing, if you shave those parts. If you do shave quit doing that. Shaving private parts is unhygienic. Keep the are clean and dry.
