A member asked:

Can folliculitis leave the skin color kinda tan like? also if you take a pic and zoom in what is the white round dot that has hair coming out of it? i know weird questions?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes (not “weird”): Folliculitis is an infection of the hair follicles in the skin. Starts out as a red, round “pimple”. After 2-3 days you may see a “white head” - a small collection of pus where the hair follicle is. As it heals may turn tan before it fades away entirely. If frequent or many, see your Primary Care doc
