Suggest Treatment For Folliculitis
Question: "to be answered by dr XXXXXXX Abraham" i sent pics my email for you the area down there looks really bad :(
Brief Answer:
Get the laser done as soon as possible.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
I have gone through the pics.
Yes, indeed , it is quite bad.
BUt it is folliculitis, and not herpes or anything more sinister.
The answer is indeed laser treatment.
Nothing else seems to be working.
How frequently do you have outbreaks ?
DO you use a community swimming pool ?
Can you summarize the antibiotics that have been used so far ?
Laser therapy seems to be the only way forward.
Seriously.
