What are the symptoms of folliculitis and how to prevent hair loss caused by folliculitis

Some male friends simply shave their heads to avoid the trouble caused by hair loss, but this does not change the essence of the problem, because the cause of hair loss is still there. Many hair loss is pathological, and if the hair loss problem is ignored, it will also affect physical health.

Alopecia Folliculitis - Clinical manifestations

Initially, it is a follicular papule, followed by a papular pustule, with hair coming out of the center and inflammatory reactions in the surrounding skin. After healing, scars and scarring alopecia remain. The hair follicles near the scars are gradually damaged, causing the skin damage to continue to expand around. It may feel itchy or not at all. The course of the disease is slow and can last for several years. It mainly occurs on the scalp, but can also occur in the beard, armpit hair and pubic hair area.

Alopecia Folliculitis - Prevention

1. Carry out extensive publicity and education on the prevention and treatment of purulent dermatosis in units prone to purulent dermatosis (such as some factories, agricultural machinery stations, primary schools, etc.), conduct preventive inspections regularly, and eliminate all pathogenic factors as much as possible.

2. Pay attention to skin hygiene, strengthen physical exercise, and enhance skin resistance.

3. Maintain the integrity of skin function. Skin diseases, especially pruritic skin diseases, should be treated promptly and reasonably to prevent skin damage, and avoid scratching and skin friction and other irritations.

4. Clothes, hats, towels, wash basins, etc. are prohibited from being shared to prevent contact infection, and patients should be properly isolated. Patients' dressings and contact objects should be strictly disinfected or incinerated. During the illness, in addition to using liquid medicine to clean the skin, it is prohibited to use tap water to wash the affected area to prevent the spread of the disease.
