What is this, folliculitis?


Question:
For the past year ive had these blocked up follicles all over my legs and my waist... I've kept getting diagnosed as having folliculitis but I don't think that's what it is because it doesn't itch at all... does anyone else have pimple-like pustule type things in their hair follicles? I really want to clear this up because it deeply interferes with my life when it comes to confidence.. being that I'm only 16.

Answers:
It sounds exactly like foliculitis. Foliculitis does not usually itch. All this means is inflammation of the hair follicles. It usually can be cleared up with oral antibiotics paired with an antibiotic ointment/cream like Bactroban. Also, not to sound mean, but the better your hygiene, the better/faster your recovery will be.
