Suggest Treatment For Folliculitis And Impetigo
Basically... over the past 7 months i have caught Falicitus/Impetigo and have recieved tablets and cream for it both times.... It is now starting again on my neck (its in the early stage and is in the form of small puss-filled spots) i have no idea how it keeps coming back. I have tried, changing razors, dry shaving, washing in anti-bacterial solutions Before a shave AND after and i dont live in unhealthy conditions. Any idea's what can be causing it?
