Hello, i have started taking 100mg minomycin for folliculitis and my rash has become increasingly worse. i am worried it may be fungal folliculitis.

Folliculitis : Anytime that you have been placed on a therapy for any issue and the problem becomes unexpectedly worse, you should contact the doctor who prescribed the medication to discuss it further. You may need to have your medication switched, depending on what the folliculitis looks like. Good luck.
