i have folliculitis and its spreading all over my body. As of this very moment i have 13 spots. Is it bad that they have spread this much within a day. Do i need to go to the doctor asap or do i need to see if they heal by themselves ?
Hi! jincysajeev,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic forum,
P.Folliculitis does need an antifungal treatment ,but depends what antifungal you have taken .We usually prefer ketoconazole tablets for this .We have seen that waxing over the area increases the problem ,so avoid waxing of the skin.
