A member asked:
Can you have fungal and bacterial folliculitis at the same time and what's the treatment?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: This sounds like the tinea versicolor variant with little pustules around the hair bases. These can become bacterially superinfected. Focus on the fungal infection with a good anti-fungal -- a single big ketoconazole tablet followed by working up an intense sweat in the fitness center might work a minor miracle for you.
