Is folliculitis at the base of the penis serious?

Folliculitis of the genitals is common. It is mainly due to the lack of hygiene, which leads to infection of red clover and inflammation of the hair follicles. This is also a great harm to the health of the private parts. It often causes the surrounding tissues of the hair follicles in the private parts to become red and swollen, which can cause painful symptoms. Is folliculitis on the penis serious? If it is not treated in time, small pustules will occur, and eventually large pustules will occur. It often causes private parts to swell and edema.

Folliculitis is an inflammation caused by Staphylococcus aureus infecting the hair follicles. Pubic hair is attached to the skin of the female vulva from the mons pubis to the outside of the labia majora. In daily life, because the vulva is easily contaminated by urine, excrement and secretions, the skin of the vulva is often in a damp and cold environment, which is very suitable for the growth and development of bacteria. The disease is more common in the head, neck, buttocks, around the anus or other parts of the human body, and has a tendency to relapse, often occurring in several places, and is difficult to eliminate. It takes a long time to cure.

In addition, the level of estrogen in menopausal women decreases, which leads to a decrease in the immunity of the vulvar skin and mucous membranes. Therefore, if menopausal women do not pay attention to the environmental hygiene of their vulva or have abrasions on the vulvar skin, the hair follicles and surrounding tissues at that point are easily infected by bacteria, which in turn causes vulvar folliculitis. In the early stages of this disease, the infected hair follicles and the surrounding areas may experience pain, redness of the skin, and other symptoms. As the disease progresses, the infected hair follicles may gradually develop pustules with red lumps around them, which are painful to touch.

A hair may come out from the top of the pustules (if there is pus, a white spot may appear at the top of the pustules). Sometimes there is only one hair follicle that is infected, and sometimes there are several. If the inflammation worsens, the infected hair follicles may develop into sores.
