The cause of inguinal folliculitis can be viewed from these two perspectives

Folliculitis is a common skin disease that can easily occur in various parts of the human body, and it can also occur in the groin area. So, how does groin folliculitis occur?

1. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine:

①Due to the accumulation of "dampness, heat and toxins" in the body, the lungs' detoxification is affected, and thus the "dampness, heat and toxins" manifest on the skin.

② The person is physically weak and easily infected by wind and cold, which leads to the accumulation of "heat toxins".

③ If you do not pay attention to keeping your skin clean, you are prone to being infected by "wind poison", which means the disease comes quickly and is serious.

2. Modern medical perspective:

① Pathogen infection: mainly Staphylococcus aureus, occasionally Staphylococcus epidermidis, Streptococcus, Pseudomonas and Escherichia coli. Mainly occurs in minors, people with low immunity or diabetes.

②Other factors: hair pulling, scratching, skin stains, local sealing bandages, skin damage, frequent contact with tar substances, or long-term use of tar ointments or corticosteroid drugs, and frequent skin friction and other irritations.
