Suggest Treatment For Folliculitis
Question: I have got folliculitis of scrotum, there is pain and redness, plz suggest a gud antibiotic treatment?
Brief Answer:
Tablet amoxicillin clavulanic acid combination and mupirocin cream
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
For folliculitis I recommend my patients to take tablet amoxicillin clavulanic acid combination 625 mg twice daily for 7 days and apply mupirocin cream or fusidic acid cream on the affected areas twice daily.
This usually results in resolution of the infection in 7-8 days.
These are prescription drugs and you need to see the doctor in person to get them.
