A member asked:
Would quitting smoking help my folliculitis or have no effect whatsoever? i am currently quitting. i heard smoking can slow down the healing process?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Please quit: At age 23, you think nothing will hurt you. My high school friends who starred are now dying of it. Sometimes pityrospirum causes folliculitis and if targeted by antifungal Meds is an easy cure. Bacterial folliculitis is harder. Quit smoking for its own sake.
