Folliculitis has been the bane of my life for over 20 years . I am 38 and I have tried it all. antibiotics , anti bacterial shampoo you name it. In my journey for relief I must note to you all that T gel worked very well but it ultimately always came back . when i shaved my head this also seemed to help- not an option for some but it did.

Anyway- recently i had a cyst removed from my head . it was a large one that took a while to remove and its not even all gone; there is still some membrane but the procedure did remove the inner puss (gross but stay with me ) . That was 5 months ago and since then I have not had a single' folliculite' as i called them . If you have a cyst on your head please go to your GP and complain about it hurting , tender and have it removed . Let me know if this method is effective .

I would love to know the correlation between cysts and reports of folliculitis also .

Good luck to all who suffer
