Folliculitis
Hello. I have a skin condition, which was precious diagnosed with acute folliculitis on my back, see attached. I took some medicine before for a month , and it calmed down a bit, but now it's again back. I am worried now as it has now started growing in the hair of my neckline as well as my chest and armpits. It also creates small bumps for some days after it goes away that I can feel but no redness, just under the skin. Could someone suggest please
