Folliculitis is the name given to a group of skin conditions. Folliculitis is defined histologically as the presence of inflammatory cells. Eosinophilic pustular folliculitis is the infection of hair follicles. This can occur anywhere on the skin or scalp. It may be superficial or deep, and it causes the formation of a pustule or inflammatory nodule surrounding the hair.
Folliculitis eosinophilic can mimic classic folliculitis, acne necrotica, lichen planopilaris, discoid lupus erythematosus, and dissecting cellulitis (also called perifolliculitis capitis abscedens et suffodiens). Other than that, all forms of treatment have their own side effects, and benefits of treatment must be evaluated against the consequences of the drugs. Rifampin causes red staining of bodily secretions including tears. Zinc at high dosage levels competes with copper metabolism and can result in severe refractory anemia and neutropenia, a hematological disorder.
Pseudofolliculitis barbae is a disorder that occurs mainly in black men. If curly beard hairs are cut too short, they may curve back into the skin and cause inflammation. Eosinophilic pustular folliculitis may caused by damage to the hair follicles due to clothing especially rough fabrics such as wool, helmet straps, or other objects rubbing against the hair or beard. It can also develop from a blocked follicle or as a result of shaving.
If you develop an infection of your scalp's hair follicles, you can do a number of things to treat it, with a focus on keeping your hair and scalp clean, and controlling oily hair before it gets out of hand. Always wash your hair in either lukewarm or cold water as hot water usage results in over-production of sebum and your scalp will be oily in a few hours.
