Folliculitis : The best article I have seen is http://www.Medicinenet.Com/folliculitis/article.Htm. As you see. There are many causes and you might be able to identify your source and limit your exposure. Anecdotally, there are many reports of the positive effects of white vinegar, which you might try, but it would be better to identify the cause; e.g., "razor burn, " and take steps to cure the problem source.
