Talk:Folliculitis

note
Could it also be caused in puberty when new hairs are just sprouting and so are short and may curl back? Does it occur like a couple of days after exposure to HIV, or after a long time?

This is the same as the French article and should be linked to it in the "in other languages" section: http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folliculite —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.41.86.78 (talk) 12:46, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Treatment

 * Hot, moist compresses may promote drainage of the affected follicles. Treatment may include antibiotics applied to the skin (mupirocin) or taken by mouth (dicloxacillin), or antifungal medications to control the infection. Graceconcepcionr (talk) 06:53, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

Merge Links
Under the Symptoms section, changing genital lesions to one link linking to "genital lesions"; instead of linking to "genital" and "lesions" separately, would increase the usefulness of the bulleted list. AddicusT (talk) 00:23, 25 October 2014 (UTC)
