ACNE OR FOLLICULITIS...

TREATING FOLLICULITIS CHICO    916SKIN - ACNE SKIN CARE CLINIC

Both men and women can experience acne along the jaw line that is the result of infected hair follicles. This condition is also known as folliculitis. It is most common along the neck, jaw, hair line and thighs. Friction to these areas can injure the hair follicle, rendering it weak, and more susceptible to infection.

Many acne sufferers have a tendency to pick at their lesions or tweeze the hairs. Neither is effective. Folliculitis requires exfoliation anti-inflammatories and antibacterials. To avoid further irritation, shave in a downward direction and avoid clothing or other things that cause friction to the area. If inflammation is involved, ice is ALWAYS a great go-to!
