Could Folliculitis Be Related To Having Asthma?

I have this small bumps on my arms, thighs and back. i was diagnosed with folliculitis. My doctor gave me creams like benzoyl peroxide and I also used AHA soap but to no avail. I have also history of asthma. I don't know if it is associated with asthma. What should I apply to remove these bumps or at least lessen it?



Thanks.

Hello
Thank You for contacting HCM.

No there is no co-relation between these two things. You can apply fusidic acid cream on the infected area thrice a day for 5 days. Keep that area clean. Do not touch with dirty hands.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow
up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.
Wishing you good health.
