Answered by Dr. Aarti Abraham (11 hours later)
Brief Answer:
As below

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Yes, the folliculitis is quite bad.
It is a rare and extremely resistant case, since it is not responding to most antibiotics.
Please hasten up the laser treatment, that seems to be the best bet.
Also, one more thing, can you request your doctor to culture one of these boils.
The pus inside can be sent for culture and sensitivity, and then the tailored antibiotic can be chosen.
That might work ?
Take care,and hold on.
It will get better.

Detailed Answer:
No, I do not have even 1 % doubt that it is herpes.

Some bad cases of folliculitis have to be cultured to choose the appropriate antibiotic.
