A member asked:

Hello i have folliculitis on my cheeks. i shave 2-3 times a week. what is the best thing i can do? i have been suffering for two months?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Quit shaving for a few weeks. Apply triple antibiotic cream to the affected areas. If that does not help, it would be prudent to see a doctor. Wish you good health!
