Folliculitis - #18441
I recently heard about Folliculitis, and I want to understand what it is, its causes, and whether Ayurveda offers natural ways to treat and prevent it. From what I read, Folliculitis is a skin condition caused by inflammation or infection of the hair follicles, leading to red bumps, pus-filled pimples, itching, and irritation. It is commonly caused by bacterial, fungal, or viral infections, excessive sweating, or friction from tight clothing. I sometimes experience mild skin irritation, occasional red bumps after shaving, and itching, especially after sweating or wearing tight clothes—could these be early signs of Folliculitis or another skin imbalance? Does Ayurveda classify skin infections as a Pitta or Kapha imbalance, and what are the best natural ways to prevent and treat Folliculitis? I have read that Neem, Turmeric, and Aloe Vera are beneficial for reducing skin inflammation and fighting bacterial infections—would these help in naturally healing Folliculitis?
