What should I do if my baby has folliculitis on his arm?

Many patients will have this question: Can folliculitis be treated when it occurs in our body? Folliculitis will recur, thus forming chronic folliculitis, which is more likely to occur on the scalp and may even cause permanent hair loss. This disease is more likely to occur on the neck, causing papillary hyperplasia or skin marks throughout the body. So what should you do when folliculitis occurs in your body?

In fact, as long as the treatment method is correct, folliculitis can be treated well. Patients must pay attention to avoid excessive sweating, stuffiness, heat, do not wash their hair frequently, do not wear pants that are too tight or too hard, and at the same time pay attention to personal hygiene, strengthen physical exercise, and enhance disease resistance.

In terms of diet, you should pay attention to eating less alcohol and sour, spicy and other irritating foods. People with recurrent attacks should eat less greasy food, eat more vegetables and fruits, increase vitamins, and keep the bowels open. To treat or control folliculitis, the principles are local sterilization, anti-inflammation and drying. Mild patients can use external anti-inflammatory green therapy, sulfur green therapy water, etc. Severe patients can be treated with oral green therapy.

In addition, the prevention and treatment of folliculitis should be strengthened, mainly paying attention to skin cleansing, enhancing the body's resistance, preventing trauma, and actively treating itchy skin diseases and systemic chronic diseases.

Folliculitis is an inflammation of the hair follicles caused by Staphylococcus aureus. Traditional Chinese medicine has long recorded this disease. Those that occur on the hairline behind the neck are called "hairline sores"; those that occur on the lower jaw are called "sheep beard sores", "beard sores", or "bird's nest sores"; those that occur between the eyebrows are called "eyebrow sores"; those that occur on the buttocks are called "sit on the bed sores", etc. Traditional Chinese medicine has different names for it according to the location and shape of the disease, such as big pearl sore, hairline sore, sheep beard sore, mole cricket boil, mole cricket disease, and eel arch head. The disease is prone to occur on the head, neck, buttocks, perianal area or other parts of the body, and tends to recur. It often occurs in multiple places, is stubborn in nature, and is difficult to cure.

After healing, there will be no obvious marks or some light-colored surface scars. Authoritative experts suggest that folliculitis is more likely to occur in parts with hair or that are more susceptible to friction. Recurrent attacks are called recurrent folliculitis.
