Folliculitis treatment in Nezahualcóyotl

Folliculitis is the inflammation of the hair follicles, the small structures in the skin where hair grows. It appears as small bumps or reddened lumps around the hair and can show up in different parts of the body.

Common symptoms:

• small red lesions or ones with a white tip around the hair
• itching or mild discomfort
• redness of the affected area

Common causes: It is usually associated with friction, moisture, hair removal, or skin irritation, although its origin can vary.

The specialist who evaluates it is the dermatologist, and in childhood the pediatric dermatologist. If the lesions persist, spread, or come back, a professional evaluation helps clarify the picture and care for the skin properly.
