Folliculitis Causes, Symptoms & Treatments
Symptom #1: Bumps
In folliculitis, there are clusters of red bumps that are individual hair follicles seen on the affected area. These bumps are filled with pus and can vary in size, ranging from 2 to 5mm. Some patients may even confuse them with yellow or white-headed pimples. In a staphylococcus infection, it can become crusty.
Depending on the cause of folliculitis, it will determine which areas are most commonly affected. Spread may occur to the surrounding areas.
