Infection or inflammation of hair follicles is known as folliculitis. Folliculitis can occur on any part of the body that has hair on it. The most common areas include the beard, scalp, chest, head, legs, back and arms. Folliculitis occurs due to the entry of a skin pathogen into a damaged hair follicle which leads to an infection. Damage to the hair follicles is usually caused by shaving, friction from clothing, skin condition like dermatitis (skin inflammation), or making tight braids. The main cause of folliculitis is an infection from the bacteria Staphylococcus Aureus. However, folliculitis may arise from fungal infection or inflammation from ingrown hair as well.
Homeopathy for folliculitis is very safe and highly effective. Homeopathic medicines fight the infection, reduce inflammation, aid healing of eruptions, clear the discharge, and cure the associated symptoms of itching, burning and pain. In mainstream medicine, ointments, gels and lotions are prescribed to fight bacterial infection. Though they give quick relief but the results are usually temporary. On the other hand, homeopathic medicines give long-term results though it may take some time, varying from weeks to a few months, depending on the intensity and chronicity of complaint.
Homeopathic medicines help to boost the body’s self-healing mechanism and fight the infection naturally in folliculitis cases. This results in a very safe, gentle healing in the most harmless manner. A complete course of homeopathic treatment needs to be followed as suggested by a homeopathic doctor to get rid of folliculitis completely.
Homeopathy gives remarkable results in cases of acute as well chronic cases of folliculitis. Initially, homeopathic medicines give relief in acute signs and symptoms of folliculitis. Afterwards, it works to gradually reduce the intensity and frequency of the complaint to overcome chronic tendency of folliculitis.
Homeopathic medicines for folliculitis treat the condition by following a curative approach rather than by suppressing it. This is because homeopathy does not use ointments that work superficially on skin surface; rather it recommends oral medicines that work internally in the body to root out the cause.
Homeopathy uses natural medicines for folliculitis. These medicines are made from natural substances and do not cause any side effects. These are safe to use among persons of all age groups.

I was diagnosed with herpes since I was a child. My mother has them too, and does nothing to stop the spread. it was hard to not kiss my children all the time, but they grow up knowing that “when mommy has a lip owie, she can’t kiss.” They give me kisses on my forehead instead and we have extra hugs. It was also very painful to not kiss my husband. However, I was 100% determined to not pass this on to anyone, especially those I love.I mostly want to thank those who feel the way I do.
