Infected hair follicle is also called as Folliculitis or Furunculosis. They are both the same infection. Folliculitis is a little bit superficial and Furunculosis is a little bit more inflamed and bigger. So Folliculitis is because of Staphylococus Aureus and is present in the skin and it is able to enter the hair follicle, post shaving, post waxing. So after Folliculitis there is pus formation. Folliculitis comes in groups and causes sharp pain, and resolves without treatment, need oral antibiotic. What causes after a close shave or after waxing in case there is Folliculitis , please dont wait to get better, speak to your dermatologist or if you have occasional, it will subsidie on its own, it could be because of heat.
