Will bleach get rid of folliculitis?

No: Folliculitis is an infection of hair follicles. Bleach will just damage the skin.

Bleach effect: Folliculitis is usually caused by a staph infection. By adding 2-3 tablespoons of bleach to a tub of warm soapy water you can cut down on the recurrence of folliculitis. The bleach has a bactericidal effect.
