Recurrent development of folliculitis over body needs to be further evaluated so as to look for the exact cause A blood glucose assessment is necessary to rule out diabetes . Do not apply any other cream or oil over the affected area. Wash the affected area with lukewarm saline water twice daily. Apply a topical antibiotic cream like neosporin or mupirocin over the lesion twice daily. You might need a course of oral antibiotics if the lesion still tends to persist.
