Boil or follicluitis?

2023-01-02 07:59:01
I am confused, if this is a boil or it is folliculitis? Or, is boil and folliculitis same? I have been prescribed augmentin and another topical abx cream. Please guide me if that will cure. As I read augmentin is not good for folliculitis? Or is it? Sorry for this question after consultation, i have ocd regarding health issues.

Both are the same thing. Self treatment is dangerous. Please don't take anything on your own
