Question

What Are the Symptoms During the Recovery Period of Baby Folliculitis?

Answer

Folliculitis is caused by Staphylococcus aureus entering through the skin’s pores. On the skin, you can see pus bumps the size of a needle. If multiple follicles near each other are infected by Staphylococcus aureus simultaneously, pus bumps the size of green beans or soybeans may appear on the skin. Folliculitis often occurs on the scalp, face, buttocks, and skin surfaces of the limbs. The key to preventing folliculitis is to pay attention to skin cleanliness and ventilation. Once folliculitis occurs, you can apply 2% iodine alcohol to the affected area three to four times a day. When applying, let the cotton swab soaked in iodine alcohol stay on the affected area for a moment to allow the medicine to penetrate. For folliculitis on areas such as the face, use iodine alcohol with caution to avoid leaving pigment calm.
