Recurrent folliculitis may be caused by not paying attention to hygiene, androgen secretion, diabetes and other reasons. 1. Not paying attention to hygiene: If you don’t pay attention to skin hygiene, it may lead to bacterial growth on the surface of the body, and also lead to hair follicle blockage, so there will be redness, swelling, pain and other folliculitis recurrence. 2. Excessive secretion of androgens: This is because androgens tend to cause the sebaceous glands to produce too much sebum, and sebum mixed with shed epidermal cells may clog the pores, causing recurrent episodes of folliculitis. 3. Diabetes: Patients with diabetes have high levels of sugar in their blood, which is a natural culture medium for bacteria. As a result, the immunity of the skin of diabetic patients is usually lower, which can easily lead to repeated episodes of folliculitis. Patients with recurrent folliculitis, need to go to the hospital as soon as possible, do not take medication without authorization, so as not to cause adverse consequences.
