Folliculitis Antibiotics orally and topically. Cold compression. Analgesics orally. Neosporin eye drops and oint locally.
Abscess streptococcus infection pus has to remove by I& d or aspiration with syringe for 2 to 3 days aug 375 tds 10 days do sugar check up stool rt
FOLLICULITIS, Most likely Staph etiology Antibiotics specially meant for staph need to be used for a longer period . E.g. FluCloxacillin, Dicloxacillin, linazolid
As it is recurrent , I think in he previous occasion it was incomplete resolution due presence of pus inside the cavity. Pus has to be drained out. Hot compressed for two days Drain the pus by opening the mouth of the cavity by small incision or opening the mouth . Broad spectrum antibiotic Analgesic and inflammatory Dressing I think you will get the total resolution.
FOLLICULITIS.
POSSIBLY RECURRENT FOLLICULITIS.... ADVISABLE CBC. ELECTROLYTES. PROTEINS LFT. RFT. CAL + D3
Folliculitis antibiotics orally topically
Folliculitis If it's recurrent do pus culture and find out highly sensitivity antibiotics. Personal hygiene & Frequently face wash Give NSAIDS along with antibiotics
