Folliculitis on the back can be handled through general treatment, medication and surgery.
1. General treatment: eat a light diet, prohibit smoking and alcohol, avoid eating too much food high in oil and sugar; pay attention to back cleaning, use mild cleaning products, bathe often, change clothes often, and work and rest regularly.
2. medication: if there is a fungal infection, you need to apply terbinafine hydrochloride cream, ketoconazole ointment and other antifungal drugs; if there is a bacterial infection, you can use topical antibiotics such as fusidic acid cream, mupirocin cream, or oral minocycline, amoxicillin and other antibiotics for treatment.
3. Surgery: If the folliculitis on the back develops into boils or carbuncles, surgical incision and drainage may be needed.
If the folliculitis on the back is serious, it is recommended to consult a doctor for standardized treatment to avoid delaying the condition.
