A member asked:
I noticed my scalp folliculitis gets worse if i eat nuts like almonds, pistachios etc. is there a relationship?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Folliculitis: Have you consulted a dermatologist to get an accurate diagnosis or to determine why your scalp hair follicles keep getting damaged and infected by staph bacteria? Unless oily foods affect your scalp I can't see a relationship between nut ingestion and folliculitis flare up. Get appropriate treatment by a dermatologist.
