A doctor has provided 1 answer

Folliculitis: Folliculitis occurs when hair follicles become infected, often with staphylococcus aureus or other bacteria. Certain variations of folliculitis are also known as hot tub folliculitis and barber's itch. Severe infections can cause permanent hair loss and scarring, and even mild folliculitis can be uncomfortable and embarrassing.
