Lesions of folliculitis,take treatment
Detailed Answer:
Hi
I understand your concern regarding your skin problem and I hope I am able to help you in the same.
You seem to have developed lesions of folliculitis over the groin area.
Now these lesions are very common in this area owing to the moisture and warmth.
You need to keep the affected area clean and dry.
Wash with lukewarm saline water twice daily and apply a topical antibiotic cream like mupirocin over the affected area.
Wear cotton undergarments so as to reduce sweating and further infection.
You might need a course of oral antibiotics if the infection tends to persist.
Hope it helps
