Have Folliculitis Frequently. And A Pus Filled Gland Underneath Skin. Am I Okay?

hi there i have folliculitis and it seems a very frequent occurrence with that i usually feel a firm puss filled gland underneath the skin when i get them sometimes the gland comes first as well. usually both can be popped, cleaned and done with very quickly until the other day i popped one that was on my thigh when i did i instantly thought it was odd because no puss came out so i squeezed on the gland underneath the skin and when it popped still no puss came out but i woke up the next morning and the whole surrounding area is very red and a little sore its now been a couple of days and the soreness has gone down but the red area is still spreading and starting to dimmen

Since you are getting recurrent folliculitis, you need to take antibiotics. Visit your physician for that.
Along with that you need to maintain clean skin, wash the regularly in case you have an oily skin.
