Hair Follicle Infection
An infection of a hair follicle, also known as folliculitis, is the inflammation of the small cavity in the skin from which each hair grows, generally by bacteria or fungi.
Common symptoms:
- small pimples or pustules around the hair
- redness and itching
- tenderness in the affected area
Common causes: chafing from clothing, moisture, shaving, and clogging of the pores.
Which specialist treats it? The dermatologist is the one who evaluates this type of skin condition, with support from the infectious disease specialist when the infection is more extensive. If the lesions do not improve or become painful, it is worth having them reviewed by a professional to guide care.
