Folliculitis has more than one cause. Your clinician reviews your photos, finds the likely type, and prescribes when appropriate, for example benzoyl peroxide, topical clindamycin or mupirocin.

Start my assessmentYes, in most cases. You answer a few questions and send clear photos. A Canadian-licensed medical professional reviews them, usually the same day, and prescribes when appropriate.
Folliculitis is inflammation of the hair follicles. It causes small red bumps or pus-filled spots, often with itch or tenderness. It can appear anywhere hair grows.
Bacteria are a common cause, but not the only one. Shaving, tight or sweaty clothing, hot tubs and yeast on the skin can also trigger it. Your clinician asks about these to find the likely cause.
Bacterial folliculitis is common. Razor bumps come from curly hairs that grow back into the skin. Hot tub folliculitis follows contact with poorly treated water. Yeast folliculitis often shows as itchy, similar-looking bumps on the chest and back.
For bacterial folliculitis, options include benzoyl peroxide, topical clindamycin and mupirocin. Your clinician decides which one fits you, and whether a prescription is needed at all. Some types need a different approach, such as an antifungal.
Treatment for one type can make another worse. An antibacterial treatment does not help yeast folliculitis, and razor bumps need changes to how you shave. A correct match saves you weeks of trial and error.
Mild cases often improve within a couple of weeks of the right care. Deeper or repeated cases can take longer. Hot tub folliculitis often clears by itself.
Benzoyl peroxide can dry the skin, cause irritation and bleach fabric. Topical antibiotics can cause mild stinging or redness. Tell your clinician about any allergy or reaction.
Use a clean, single-blade or electric razor, and shave in the direction of hair growth. Wear loose, breathable clothing and shower after exercise. Do not share razors or towels.
Go in person if the area is large, very painful, swollen or warm, or if you have a fever. Also go if you see a deep, firm lump or red streaks, or if you have a weak immune system. These can be signs of a deeper infection.
Tell your clinician how often it returns and where. They may suggest a swab test, a plan for your skin routine, or a plan for your household. Repeat episodes deserve a closer look.
Try to pause shaving and waxing on the affected area until it settles. If you must shave, use a clean razor and gentle strokes. Your clinician can give advice for your skin and hair type.
Each consultation costs CA$175. Your pharmacy charges separately for medication. Ask your insurer whether your plan covers the prescribed treatment.
