How can i treat folliculitis until i can see my doctor?

Folliculitis: The best way to address this until you see your doctor is to use either salicylic acid, glycolic acid, or benzoyl peroxide once or twice a day.

Folliculitis.: Despite the fact that folliculitis is technically a bacterial infection of the follicles, we can often treat acute folliculitis with a simple warm soak to the area (warm water on a washcloth and applied for 15 minutes at a time, 2 to 3 times a day). If this does not help, one could try antibacterial creams, available over-the-counter.
