It may depend on where the folliculitis is located. I had it after the birth of my 3rd child and thought it was related to breast feeding. The doctor prescribed medicines, none of which helped. I had it in my arm pits. The only thing that helped was keeping it dry (talcum powder) and not shaving for a few weeks. I wore no deodorant either. It was not fun but time was the only thing that cured it.
Where is yours located?
