Recurrent folliculitis in axillary and pubic region, pain and pus, kindly.recommend some antibiotic?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes : For run of the mill folliculitis (superficial pus pimples) topical Clindamycin 1% gel or lotion with benzoyl peroxide washes (otc 5-10%) daily works well. Make sure this isn't something more serious like hydradenitis superativa.
