Folliculitis : Folliculitis of the skin usually affects areas that are little more moist warm and more prone to irritation such as armpits groins where we shave and usually should use a antibacterial soap such as Hibiclens and use Bactroban (mupirocin) ointment to help reduce the chance of infection.
