A member asked:

Can peanuts allergy cause scalp foliculitis?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

If you're certain that you have scalp folliculitis, then I wouldn't consider it a result of peanut allergy. If you have any doubts of the diagnosis of your scalp eruption, consult your physician or a dermatologist for accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
