Go ahead: Masturbation will not affect your folliculitis. You may wish to use a topical antibiotic like triple antibiotic cream available over the counter. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/. Wish you good health!
