Sir..i have recurring folliculitis in my pubic area since 1 year and comes again and again with shaving..i used many antibiotics but all in vain .

Quit shaving: Shaving your genital area is unhygienic and you should not be doing it. Shaving is making you have ingrown hair that are getting infected. Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex, if you have sex.
