Chronic folliculitis
I had been suffering from folliculitis from 4 years now. Every time I consult some doctor, they prescribe me some antibiotics and in some cases isotretinoin. I helps but I'm not gonna say it cured my illness but i comes back every time after stopping the meds. I some how got a idea whether my good old days(childhood) allergies are acting on. So i went up and done Allergy blood test. So many positive results and now I'm thinking this white pimples (folliculitis) are result of those allergies. Can some one back me up and treat this permanently? By the way, i had pus for c/s and it will nill!

The best procedure is getting culture of pus and see its infected or not before coming to the conclusion of what caused it.
You should also understand that you can allergy 1000 things but not everything can cause reaction.
Next Steps
Go to medical college get patch tests and cultures of pus before coming to assumptions
