Home Remedies for Folliculitis
Folliculitis is an inflammation or infection of the hair follicles, the small openings
that surround the roots of your strands of hair.
It can affect one or more hair follicles, anywhere on your body that hair grows.
The thighs, buttocks, neck and armpits are most often affected because friction is common
in these areas
Here are the top 4 home remedies for folliculitis.
1.
