My Dr has diagnosed me with Folliculitis. She prescribed my with Zyrtec. Has anyone had any luck with this?


(I mispelled it in my previous question. Sorry for the double post)

My doctor just gave me an antibiotic when I had it and it cleared up in a couple weeks.

folliculitis is iritated hair follicles. zyrtec is an allergy medication.i don't see how that would help. try and see but you probably need an antibiotic

Zyrtec (cetirizine) is antihistamine, popular drug for allergy. She probably give you zyrtec to reduce the swollen, itch, burn / sting sensation.
Folliculitis commonly caused by bacteria, fungi, alergic reaction etc.
Antibiotics can be added, depends on it cause, or if there's secondary infection.
