Folliculitis: Moderate cases of bacterial folliculitis may be treated by a routine of twice-daily application of a topical antibiotic, such as Clindamycin lotion or Metronidazole lotion. A five- to 30-day course of an oral antibiotic like Cephalexin (keflex), Dicloxacillin (dynapen), doxycycline, Minocycline (dynacin, minocin), tetracycline (sumycin), Ciprofloxacin (cipro), or Levofloxacin (levaquin).
