RP. WHAT IS FOLICLITIS OF SCALP. CAN IT CAUSE HAIR LOSS. WHAT TREATMENT IS THERE.

Not Medical Advice: Scalp folliculitis is small itchy pustules within the scalp, or scalp acne. Severe cases of scalp folliculitis can lead to hair loss and permanent scarring. Topical antibiotics, mild topical steroid lotions or creams, oral antihistamines, oral antibiotics, and oral isotretinoin may be used for treatment. Scalp folliculitis may be caused by bacteria, yeasts, and mites. Wash your hair in lukewarm or cold water to prevent over-production of sebum.
