Maybe these websites can help. Treatment Overview


Mild cases of folliculitis sometimes heal on their own. However, folliculitis may return or get worse. If your folliculitis spreads or returns, see your doctor for proper treatment.

If your infection is caused by bacteria and it is:

Mild, you can try an antibiotic ointment or cream such as bacitracin, polymyxin B sulfate (Polysporin), clindamycin, erythromycin, or mupirocin (Bactroban). You may also use an antiseptic cleanser, such as povidone-iodine (for example, Betadine) or chlorhexidine.
Deeper or more severe, you will need to take antibiotic pills. Your doctor may prescribe dicloxacillin, erythromycin, or cephalexin (such as Keflex). Ciprofloxacin (Cipro) and ofloxacin (such as Floxin) are used for certain types of bacteria.
If your infection is caused by a fungus:

You will need to take antifungal pills, such as fluconazole (Diflucan), griseofulvin (Fulvicin-U/F or Gris-PEG, for example), itraconazole (Sporanox), or terbinafine (Lamisil).
Your doctor may give you a corticosteroid to reduce inflammation.
If folliculitis occurs on your scalp or beard area, you can use a shampoo containing selenium sulfide 2.5%, selenium 1%, or 50% propylene glycol.

For stubborn or recurrent cases of folliculitis, laser treatment may be an option. Laser treatment destroys the hair follicle and reduces the scarring that results from folliculitis. However, hair will no longer grow in the treated area. Laser treatment is expensive.

soap doctor, no it's called face doctor, I found it much cheaper, I'm looking, the last two is where I found it cheap, the first link you could try a sample size, click on the more info and there are testimonials

I'm sorry you are going through so much pain and aggravation. A lot of people are misdiagnosed with "folliculitis" when what they actually have is a disease called Hidradenitis Suppurativa. This is because very few doctors are aware of the early signs of the disease or are just plain ignorant to the disease itself. I have listed several sites that you can go to under sources and if this sounds like you, please see a dermatologist who knows what he/she is dealing with. There is no cure or specific treatment, but there is a great support team out here on the web.
