Folliculitis: Inflammation and infection of the hair follicles is more likely where skin touches skin. Shaving can also contribute to ingrown hairs. Simple acne/infected oil clogged in the hair follicle can play a role. Allow steam of hot shower to open pores. Use mild facial skin cleanser with loofah or washcloth to exfoliate. Dry, use salicylic acid toner. Then use aloe vera based hydrocortisone cream.
