A member asked:
Why scalp foliculitis mostly show up on back side of the head (like in my case)? what is so special about that area in this context?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Scalp folliculitis is common on areas of the scalp which may have compromised circulation depending on the portion of the skull which is resting on a mattress or pillow. There are other factors, and the area involved may simply be random. See a dermatologist to be certain about origin and treatment.
