A member asked:
What dove soap is best for folliculitis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Soap & folliculitis: Daily bathing or showering with any soap will reduce the risk of folliculitis. Once folliculitis is present, the same hygiene program may help, but no soap of any kind cures folliculitis. The main prevention is avoiding shaving in the involved area. Severe or persistent cases often require antibiotic treatment.
