Specializes in Urgent Care

See MD : Is your rash itchy? Are the lesions fluid filled? Where are they expressed? Are they grouped? Do you have a picture? Full medical history are you on any meds? History of eczema? History of atopic dermatitis? If the rash is truly painful you may have a bacterial infection or herpes zoster. A picture would be quintessentially valuable. Stay calm and see a Derm by telemedicine.

Folliculitis.: If you were diagnosed with folliculitis and were recommended treatment, has the treatment worked? If the condition in question has not resolved to your satisfaction, then you may wish to revisit the doctor or seek specialist consultation.
