Doctor Dao Xuan Huong shares about the method of treating folliculitis

Folliculitis on the back causes itching and discomfort for the patient.

Hot summer weather is a favorable condition for skin irritation, easily causing skin damage and creating an opportunity for skin diseases to develop. In particular, skin is always moist and unclean hygiene are favorable conditions for folliculitis to increase.

According to Dr. Dao Xuan Huong, folliculitis is often persistent and recurs due to favorable factors such as polluted, hot and humid environments. If not treated promptly, folliculitis will develop into boils, boil clusters, and carbuncles, causing pain and many inconveniences for the patient.

As soon as there are signs of infection on the skin, spots, blisters, rashes..., patients need to go to reputable facilities immediately for timely examination and treatment. Depending on each customer's skin condition, the doctor will prescribe different methods of implementation. Usually, there will be common treatment methods such as:

Use topical medication in combination with oral medication

- Antiseptic solutions: Contains Chlorhexidine 4%, Hexamidine 0.1%, Povidon - iodine 0.1% to clean skin lesions, limit the growth of pathogenic bacteria. Should be used 2 - 4 times/day for best results.

- Antibiotics: Neomycin ointment, Mupirocin ointment, Clindamycin solution, Erythromycin solution. Antibiotics work to completely destroy bacteria that adhere deep in hair follicles, limiting the risk of recurrence. Duration of use: continuously for 7 - 10 days.

- Oral antibiotics: Some commonly used types are: Ciprofloxacin, Metronidazole, B-lactam, Cephalosporin, Amoxicillin,... All of these drugs are only used in cases where the disease has developed severely, and under the direction of a doctor.

- Benzoyl peroxide topical medications: Indicated in cases of facial folliculitis caused by long-term use of oral antibiotics. Stop taking antibiotics and use Benzoyl peroxide instead to help disinfect, exfoliate and slough off skin.

Modern methods

- Laser: This is a treatment method for folliculitis applied to cases of folliculitis caused by improper plucking and shaving. Under high-intensity pulsed light, the skin with large, rough pores will be significantly improved. Not only has the ability to treat, using laser also has a very effective disease prevention function. Helps the skin to be brighter and smoother, stimulates collagen growth, making the skin firmer, more elastic and healthier.

Doctor Dao Xuan Huong examines and checks the skin of a customer.

- Using ND YAG and Fractional CO2 machines combined with the active ingredient Centila Coptis Serum: ND YAG is effective in treating dark pigmentation and Fractional CO2 treats roughness and keratosis. At the same time, during the treatment, the doctor will combine the active ingredient Centila Coptis Serum to treat acne, prevent dark spots, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial to help soothe and heal acne skin quickly.

This active ingredient is extracted entirely from natural plants and Poly Deoxy Ribo Nucleotide (DNA) to regenerate the skin, improve the ability to retain moisture, giving the skin full moisture and firmness, control the amount of oil secreted through the skin, regulate sebum, limit irritation, kill bacteria, and quickly reduce inflammation.

Doctor Dao Xuan Huong shared: “ Treatment of folliculitis is not difficult, however, patients need to find a method suitable for their skin.

Completely different from traditional methods such as oral or topical medications that can only address the skin's surface condition and have a high risk of acne recurrence, treating folliculitis with high-tech machines and natural active ingredients helps to thoroughly resolve the root cause of inflammation, preventing the invasion of staphylococcus aureus and fungi that cause dermatitis and acne recurrence .

For mild signs of folliculitis, patients can use home treatments: combining honey, lemon and sugar helps moisturize, fight inflammation, and reduce dark spots left by acne; using coconut oil and lemon juice helps fight bacteria, prevent the growth of bacteria, fungi, etc., preventing the formation and development of agents inside the hair follicles.

However, to completely treat the disease, the patient must go to the doctor to determine the cause of the disease and use the appropriate treatment method, said Dr. Dao Xuan Huong.
