So I'm 3 weeks in and I noticed I had some deep itching in the scalp that is typical before outbreaks so I fear despite doing all this it's not going to be a cure (I know I have more time but symptoms should not be coming back I think, only getting lesser or non-existent.) 1B74.Z, 1B74.Y, 1B75, EK5Y, ED81.Y, EH67.5, 1F2D.1, 1G07.0, 1B74.0, ED9Y, 1C62.113600006, 707220001, 399008001, 123687007, 240894003, 123688002, 53651004, 399324997, 428172002, 267812007, 721268005, 23838009, 238493000, 9115004, 402921005, 95333004to determine if folliculitis is due to an infection. But I need more information about using Smilax Medica Root (Sarsaparilla)How much did you take, how often and what form? Folliculitis affecting the buttocks is quite common in males and females. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts Some say to apply antibiotic ointment to nostrils but I cannot get the ointment without a prescription.I think I will need to break down and pay dermatologist to culture the infections to identify the bacteria and determine best course of action.I too realize use of antibiotics is a LAST RESORT and is NOT GOOD FOR GUT FLORA which is beneficial. And the itch stopped. Just probiotics times to time.

I've also read the Staph bacteria that causes it can "hide" so to speak in your nostrils so you need to put Mupirocen ointment in there while taking the antibiotics. I too found that Smilax Medica (Sarsaparilla) reduced the outbreaks but didn't cure it.

Often this is on the legs of women, but it can occur in any areas of shaving, waxing, hair plucking or friction.

These include:Treatment depends on the underlying condition and its severity.

But I want a CURE.This study for a more severe case of scalp Folliculitis called Folliculitis Decalvans is where most patients were cured with 1 month of Minocycline 100mg twice a day. There seems to be conflicting evidence about whether it helps or hurts Kidney function. I don't wash out the solution until later (shower)...Message me if the link isn't available...BWThis doesn't sound like a permanent solution. Bring it to another dermatologist who was impressed....I have been taking large doses of Zinc supplement as a treatment... worked a bit.

(Powder? So I am so sad and scared that I am now like many of the stories I have read that people have this for years and it never goes away. Larger root grind in tea?

DermNet provides Google Translate, a free machine translation service. I would think it would if it cures Folliculitis bacteria but if it is a permanent cure I guess this would not be a concern?And I see, your spoiler says the Smilax didn't CURE it. I am putting this out there for people to read, learn from my research and add anything regarding further information or experiences that may help us develop a treatment 'recipe' that works for most if not all us with chronic scalp Folliculitis!I’m trying a salicylic acid shampoo too to help exfoliating the scalpI've done 5 months of cooked beef with salt + water, and my scalp folliculitis (SF) was gone.Since I've reintroduced dairy, SF is back! For me it is heavily related to gut Flora imbalance.I've got a simple routine that has gotten rid of my acne and folliculitis on my face and scalp.

At first it may look like small red bumps or white-headed pimples around hair follicles — the tiny pockets from which each hair grows. Most Dermatologists apparently don't know how to treat/cure it as they treat it like it were from shaving where you get it on other parts of the body.

Some said 7-10 days, some said 4-6 weeks.It is 5 days after I stopped taking the Doxycyline and the bumps are slowly coming back! Had to take like 3g twice a day of root powder (used a capsule filler from Amazon to make my own capsules). My dermatologist also has me putting the ointment inside my ears including inside the folds on the outside and washing my entire body once a week with Hibclens soap (what surgeons use I think to sterilize their hands). It's usually caused by a bacterial or fungal infection.

It clears with antibiotics. (see picture)Because of this, I decided to fight it actively.

Acute buttock folliculitis is usually bacterial in origin (like boils), resulting in red painful papules and pustules.
