Folliculitis is an inflammation in which pyogenic cocci invade around the mouth of hair follicle and are confined to the upper part of hair follicle. Can be divided into suppurative and non-suppurative, more common in immunocompromised or diabetic patients, more common in the head and neck. Folliculitis begins with red papules, then rapidly develops into papular abscess, and then dries and scabs, leaving no trace after scabbing. There are many rashes, but they don't merge. Folliculitis is more common in adults. Common in the head, neck, buttocks, vulva. Conscious itching or mild pain, generally no systemic symptoms. The rash started as a needle-like red follicular papule, and gradually turned into a miliary pustule with hair in the center and inflammatory blush around it. Pustules often appear in batches and do not merge with each other. After the pustule ruptures, a small amount of purulent blood is discharged to form a yellow scab, which immediately heals without leaving scars. A small folliculitis seems to be no big deal, but if it is taken lightly, it is wrong. Folliculitis can recur to form chronic folliculitis; Occurring on the scalp can lead to permanent hair loss; It occurs in the nape, and the skin lesions are papillary hyperplasia or scar induration, which is difficult to cure; Folliculitis develops deeply and can cause folliculitis, which is called furuncle, and multiple and recurrent furuncle is called furuncle.
