A member asked:
I only go outside during the day twice a week when going to work, now i have folliculitis, could be lack of vitamin d and not exposing myself to sun?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely: The bigger culprits for causes of folliculitis are 1) friction from shaving or tight clothing 2) heat/sweat 3) skin injuries like scrapes 4) lotions/creams/skin coverings(like bandaids)
