Staph Infections Causes, Symptoms & Treatments
Symptom #1: Folliculitis
Folliculitis is a skin condition where the hair follicles are irritated and inflamed. It can occur anywhere on the skin that has hair follicles, especially the face, back, and chest. (Soles and palms are excluded.) It may start out as small red bumps that look like white-headed pimples. The bumps can be filled with pus and can crust over if they break open.
The affected area is also itchy, sore, painful, and tender. In some cases, there may be a swollen bump or mass. The condition can spread without proper hygiene or treatment. Severe cases of folliculitis can lead to permanent scarring and hair loss.
