Hi
Welcome to health care magic
folliculitis is inflammation of follicle or hair follicles,it is due to bacterial infection ,local application of some antibiotic ointment is sufficient in most of cases

Thanks for your answer buddy, ive taken antibiotics for a few days when I first got the foliculitis and it went away completely for about 6 months and when they came back they werent big and infected like some of them was when I got it at first,they pretty much just look like pimples but who wants them ,,,so I put pure virgin coconut oil on my skin 3 times and its gone but now I got one on my eyebrow,im wondering if I might have them running scared and looking for a new place to play!!! Lol could it be the case?
