Patient's question:
What are the symptoms of baby's molluscum contagiosum during the recovery period?Doctor's answer:
Folliculitis is caused by Staphylococcus aureus entering the pores on the skin. Small pustules the size of needles can be seen on the skin. If several nearby hair follicles are simultaneously infected by Staphylococcus aureus, larger pustules the size of green beans or soybeans may appear on the skin. Folliculitis commonly occurs on the scalp, face, buttocks, and the surface of limbs. The key to preventing folliculitis is to pay attention to skin cleanliness and ventilation. Once folliculitis occurs, apply a 2% concentration of iodine to the affected area three to four times a day. When applying, let the cotton swab soaked in iodine stay on the affected area for a moment to help the medication penetrate. However, for folliculitis on the face or other areas, use iodine with caution to avoid leaving a pigmentation mark.
