Had Folliculitis, Prescribed Pills Making It Worse. Does Neosporin Help?
I ve had folliculitis for awhile now and pills the doctor are giving me are making it worse. I ve looked up home remedies to treat it and last week I took a bath in 1/4 cup clorox bleach and the itch went away but now my foreskin is all swollen and numb. How long do you think it ll be like that? Plus starting yesterday I ve been putting straight up distilled white vinegar on a cotton ball and applying it to the spots that are infected. Is this bad for me? I see improvement after a day but I just want to know if it s bad for me to do. Also does neosporin help folliculitis or is it good to use?
