A member asked:

How can i differentiate between a pimple and folliculitis on scalp/beard area? how do i know what exactly it is?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Same thing, almost: There is not a whole lot of difference between the two. Pimple starts as blockage of pores of follicles and goes to inflammation. Folliculits starts as bacterial infection of the follicle. They end up with a similar result.
