Symptoms of scrotal folliculitis

Folliculitis is a purulent inflammation caused by bacterial infection of the entire hair follicle. It starts as a red papule, which gradually develops into papular pustules, which are isolated and scattered, and are slightly painful. In adults, it mainly occurs in the hairy parts, and in children, it is more common on the head. The rash can sometimes merge with each other, and small patches of alopecia may remain after healing.

Folliculitis is mostly caused by damp heat accumulation inside the body, and external heat evil, which then fumigates the lung system and accumulates in the skin. The evil poison accumulates for a long time and turns into heat. When the heat is strong, the flesh rots and becomes pus. The pus and poison spread and penetrate each other, causing folliculitis. Or it may be caused by a weak body, a weak defense system, and external heat toxins; or it may be caused by dirty skin, which is invaded by wind toxins and wind toxins. Therefore, you can take some Chinese medicine to clear heat.

For areas with more hair, you can try to cut the hair and then apply some topical medications. Common topical medications for folliculitis include iodine tincture, neomycin ointment, etc.
