A member asked:
How can you tell if your folliculitis is healing? has been 2 weeks since started antibiotics, is quite tender and itchy especially at night.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not healing?: While there could be itching during healing persistent tenderness 2 weeks later may suggest that it is not healing. I recommend you follow up with your doctor.
