Recurrent folliculitis and LHR
Hi
I've this persistent issue of recurrent folliculitis. Folliculitis flares up everytime I sweat and it leaves scars behind . I have tried all options like isotretinoin, salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, cetrilac , almost everything. But all these give me just temporary relief... Just for couple of days and again I get flares of folliculitis all over my body including back chest abdomen upper arms , legs everywhere on my body. I stay in surat... And the weather is sweaty almost 10 months in a yea
Kindly suggest if complete Laser Hair Removal will reduce this issue
Looking forward for responses
Thank you a ton.
