A member asked:
What antifingal cream should i use on folliculitis on my butt?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No antifungal.: Folliculitis on the buttocks is usually caused by a superficial bacterial infection. Therefore, antifungals are not usually effective for folliculitis. A topical antibiotic such as prescription Clindamycin is my treatment of choice for folliculitis.
