Folliculitis refers to a pimple-like condition that isn’t acne. Itchy or painful bumps can result from bacterial or fungal infections. Those suffering from dry skin or eczema have a higher risk of acquiring folliculitis because of the disrupted skin barrier. In this episode, Singapore Dermatologist Dr. Teo Wan Lin explains what folliculitis is, the causes as well as treatment.
Hi guys, welcome to #LearningIsFun with me and Ash! This is the episode where we were going through the letter F for Folliculitis and as you can tell, this is a recording fail. No thanks to Ash who decided he would turn off the sound recording. Nevertheless I am determined to make the best of this.

It can be caused by bacteria and fungi most commonly and sometimes because of inappropriate topical steroid use. Folliculitis is treated most commonly with oral antibiotics
