Patient's question:
I have some red bumps on my face, they are quite large and itchy. It has been a long time, but they haven't healed yet. The doctor took a look and said it's folliculitis, so he prescribed some ointment for me. I have been using it for half a month, but the folliculitis still keeps recurring. Can folliculitis gradually subside?Doctor's answer:
Folliculitis can be gradually relieved. On the other hand, it is necessary to do a good job with local treatment, which means using some povidone iodine for local sterilization, and also using some anti-inflammatory creams to kill bacteria and reduce inflammation. At the same time, it is also necessary to regulate your diet, avoiding any stimulating foods and minimizing the intake of greasy foods. Ensure good mood, as this will help the symptoms gradually recover. You can also use some detoxifying drugs.
