What to do about folliculitis in the male pubic area

For folliculitis of the male vulva, the first thing is to pay attention to skin hygiene and to disinfection of underwear. Actively treat pruritic skin diseases and systemic wasting diseases, such as diabetes, to enhance the immunity of the body in order to reduce recurrence. In case of an attack, antibiotic treatment is the mainstay, and local topical treatment with anti-inflammatory, antiseptic and drying-based topical drugs, such as 2% mupirocin ointment, fusidic acid ointment, and polymyxin B ointment, which are less resistant to such drugs, is advisable. When the exudate is obvious, you can use furacilin solution for wet compresses or 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution for washing; you can also use sulfur lotion and sulfur glycolic lotion for topical application. Physical therapy includes ultraviolet light, helium-neon laser, infrared radiation, etc. For patients with obvious septic symptoms, surgery is needed to drain the pus, and systematic oral medication can be taken with macrolide antibiotics, tetracycline antibiotics, or cephalosporin, amoxicillin, etc.
