Mild folliculitis triggered by beard plucking generally requires no special treatment, while severe cases can be treated with topical and oral medications.
1. Beard pulling may damage the local tissue of skin follicles, leading to the invasion of bacteria and other pathogens induced folliculitis. Common therapeutic drugs include mupirocin ointment and miconazole cream, which are mainly used for anti-bacterial and anti-fungal treatment.
2. Folliculitis combined with pustules can be treated with oral antibiotics, such as doxycycline hydrochloride, minocycline and so on.
If diagnosed with folliculitis, should promptly seek medical attention, not unauthorized medication, so as not to delay the condition. Pay attention to personal hygiene on weekdays, avoid frequent beard pulling to avoid secondary infection.
