Dealing with Follucilitis Apart From Medical Treatment
Aside from medical treatment, certain lifestyle changes can help manage and prevent folliculitis. Here are some recommendations:
- Maintain good personal hygiene, including regular showers and washing clothes and towels frequently.
- Avoid sharing personal items, such as razors or towels, with others to minimize the risk of bacterial or fungal spread.
- Choose loose-fitting and breathable clothing to minimize friction and sweat buildup.
- Opt for gentle and non-irritating skincare products, avoiding harsh chemicals or fragrances that may exacerbate the condition.
- Refrain from excessive shaving or waxing, as this can cause further irritation to the hair follicles.
- Keep the affected areas clean and dry, and avoid scratching or picking at the bumps to prevent secondary infection.
