How to diagnose male folliculitis

For men, folliculitis is not a rare disease, so they will not be surprised or surprised by it. This disease does not distinguish between "locations" and often appears in places with more hair, and the genitals are also within the scope of the disease. Therefore, male friends must pay more attention and keep their bodies clean. Next, the editor will let you know the symptoms of genital folliculitis.

The main reason for folliculitis is that the patient's immunity is reduced, and the hygiene of the vulva is poor, which leads to an increase in secondary bacteria. Most of these bacteria are Staphylococcus aureus. Patients with folliculitis should keep their vulva clean and take a bath frequently. Limit the use of alcohol and spicy foods. Eat more foods rich in vitamins, trace elements and high protein.

Male genital folliculitis symptoms:

1. The rash is initially a pinhead-sized red follicular papule. The patient will also feel itchy all over, and there is obvious inflammatory erythema around the rash, and then slowly turns into millet-sized pustules. There are hairs in the center. Most of the pustules appear in batches and are not fused with each other. The wall of the pustules is thin. After the pustules burst, there is a small amount of purulent secretion, and there is spontaneous itching and mild tingling. After a period of time, it will dry up and finally form a yellow scab. The scab will heal without leaving scars, but this situation is not easy to recur.

2. For some people with low immunity or poor hygiene, repeated attacks of folliculitis may develop into a more serious infection, resulting in rashes and sores.

3. Bacterial skin disease: For examination and testing of vulvar folliculitis, the pus in the pustules is taken for bacterial culture to determine what kind of bacterial infection is causing it. Some severe patients may also have an increase in white blood cells in the ear.

Pubic hair is generally moist and warm, which is suitable for bacterial growth and is the favorite hotbed for bacteria. If a skin infection occurs at this time, bacteria can easily invade and cause infection in the body.

The above three symptoms can be used as the diagnosis criteria for genital folliculitis. The most important thing for gay men is to maintain personal hygiene and prevent the occurrence of genital folliculitis. Otherwise, if the disease develops seriously, it will cause even more unbearable symptoms.
