Folliculitis Treatment
Our Approach:
- Comprehensive Evaluation: Our experienced dermatologists perform a thorough examination to determine the cause and severity of your folliculitis.
- Personalized Treatment Plans: Recognizing that each case of folliculitis is unique, we create customized treatment plans to address your specific symptoms and triggers.
Types of Folliculitis We Treat:
- Bacterial Folliculitis: Often caused by Staphylococcus aureus, leading to pimple-like pustules.
- Fungal Folliculitis: Resulting from fungal infections, it can be itchy and present as red, inflamed bumps.
- Hot Tub Folliculitis: Occurs after exposure to contaminated hot tubs or pools, causing itchy, red bumps.
- Razor Bumps (Pseudofolliculitis Barbae): Common in individuals with curly hair, leading to ingrown hairs and inflammation.
Treatment Options:
- Topical Medications: Our dermatologists may recommend prescription-strength topical treatments to target the underlying cause of folliculitis.
