Brief Answer:
folliculitis
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query.
It is not related to botox.
It is recurrent folliculitis a bacterial infection.
I treat such patients with a short course of capsule rifampicin and have seen excellent response.
You can try this in consultation with you doctor.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you

Brief Answer:
Reports are normal
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Sorry for delay in reply.
As I mentioned it is a bacterial infection.
It can happen at any age.
Sometimes the bacteria becomes resistant to common antibiotics.
In such cases Rifampicin works well.
Your reports are fine.
Only ESR is raised.
That is not a matter of concern.
Try the medication suggested by me.
It will help you.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.
