hi I'm Megan.

for the last year or so I have been struggling really badly with folliculitus on my chest and sometimes my neck. I have been to the doctors countless times and been told there is nothing they can really do for it other than antibiotics and just a waiting game for it to eventually go away.

it can clear up for maybe a day if I'm lucky but soon as I know it, its back with a vengeance and it just doesn't seem to be going away. it feels really uncomfortable and the lumps seem to burn.

I am desperate for some help on what to do 😭

its really taking its toll on me and having a big impact on my mental health and life in general, and to make it 100x worse I suffer with a condition called body dismorphia so having this on my body is making me feel very stressed

i just dont know what else to do or how I can improve it

please if anybody has any remedies they have used that may help my situation i will be forever grateful.

thanks
