How long does folliculitis last? how long does the itch continue after treatmne
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Varies: based on the extend of the infection and which bacteria are causing the infection. I would state that with appropriate oral and topical antibiotic therapy, 7-10 days is a realistic time frame, assuming this is NOT a resistant bacteria.
