FOLICULITIS
FOLICULITIS

It is a common skin disease. The hair root due to friction or compression due to damage to the microorganisms in that region due to the formation of inflammation occurs. It is more easily formed in areas such as neck and groin, in places such as the skin of the skin, friction areas such as the beard area or the genitals. The body can occur anywhere in the hair. It is seen as a painful swelling surrounding the skin and sometimes as a pus with a pus which settles in the middle of it. It often heals by spontaneous or simple treatment. The most common microorganisms are staphylococcal bacteria, but fungi and viruses can also cause folliculitis.



Can folliculitis recover spontaneously?

Folliculitis can heal spontaneously or with a simple treatment within a few days. However, in the presence of some risk factors, the microorganisms that cause folliculitis can spread to deep tissues and also into the bloodstream. In this case, general condition disorder, such as high fever, requires urgent treatment. The more severe forms of folliculitis should be treated by the physician. Recurrent folliculitis may cause hair loss and hair loss due to hair loss.

What are the causes of folliculitis?

Folliculitis is the most common microorganisms (infectious diseases that can not be seen as small creatures, “microbes bulaş) staphylococcus are named bacteria. A herpes virus, pseudomonas bacteria, or some other microorganisms and fungi, also called gram negative bacteria, can lead to folliculitis. The hair can return to the surface of the hair back to the back of the hair extension due to the rotation of the microorganism may develop inflammation without a microorganism.

What Makes Folliculitis Development Easy?

Folliculitis can develop in everyone. However, in some cases listed below, folliculitis is easier to produce:

1. Hot and perspiration

2. Obesity

3. Covering the skin tightly

4. Shaving (especially close and irritating shaving)

5. Narrow clothing that causes friction and prevents sweat from evaporating

6. Presence of some diseases that reduce body resistance to infectious diseases (such as diabetes, leukemia, AIDS)

7. The presence of a skin disease such as adolescent acne or eczema

8. Skin integrity damages (abrasions, surgical site incision, other incisions)

9. Long-term use of certain drugs (corticosteroids and antibiotics)

10. Hot bath in non-clean bathtub



How is folliculitis treated?

1. Conditions that facilitate the formation of folliculitis should be eliminated. (Lose weight, avoid excessive sweating conditions, wear loose and sweaty clothing, shave or use electric shavers)

2. The skin area with folliculitis should be kept clean with gently applied cleaners.

3. Folliculitis should not be squeezed by the patient and emptied of its contents. This is very risky and can lead to the spread of microbe to the entire body and lead to a marked scarring.

4. Hot compresses to be applied to the area in mild cases will be improved within a few days.

5. It should be used for the treatment of more severe, multiple or advanced folliculitis with the prescription of antibiotics or prescribed by your doctor. In some special folliculitis, your doctor may prescribe herpes or fungicides.

6. A small surgical procedure may be needed to make an incision on the folliculitis to drain the purpura accumulated in advanced cases such as frontal and carbuncle.
