What does it involve this treatment?

Here's how folliculitis is treated: Controlling follicle inflammation with personalized topical and oral treatment.

Folliculitis is an inflammation of the hair follicle that causes red bumps, itching, and, in severe cases, hair loss. Its causes include bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, fungi such as Malassezia, occlusion from hats or helmets, friction from frequent shaving, and prolonged sweating. At Velvet Aura, we identify the type of folliculitis using trichoscopy and, when necessary, a culture, to guide treatment: medicated cleansing with antiseptics, topical or oral antibiotics depending on severity, antifungals when the cause is fungal, and hygiene and shaving guidelines to prevent future flare-ups. The 2-session plan includes managing active inflammation and implementing measures to prevent recurrences.

Technology used: Digital trichoscopy, cleansing with antiseptics and topical and oral antibiotics or antifungals.

Frequently Asked Questions

We resolve your doubts before booking your first appointment with our team.

If folliculitis caused hair loss, the hair usually grows back in the weeks following the resolution of the inflammation, once the follicle has recovered.

It is not recommended during the inflammatory phase. Once the folliculitis is under control, the specialist can evaluate hair regeneration treatments if there are areas of hair loss.

No. Medicated cleansings and topical applications are painless and require no recovery time.

Folliculitis can be permanently controlled in most cases, but if the habits that cause it persist, it may recur. That is why we have included prevention guidelines.

The standard protocol consists of two follow-up visits, supplemented by daily topical or oral treatment as appropriate.

Change your hats and pillowcases frequently, avoid shaving during the active phase, and don't pop your pimples to prevent scarring.

The cause of folliculitis varies from person to person and can only be confirmed through a medical evaluation. Schedule your evaluation in Chapinero, Bogot�, to identify the cause and determine the appropriate treatment for your condition.

It depends on the type and cause. Many skin conditions are controlled with medical treatment and continuous follow-up; an accurate diagnosis defines the strategy, and that is determined in an in-person consultation.

If symptoms persist, change or affect your quality of life, it is recommended to consult a dermatologist for a timely diagnosis and a personalized management plan.

Transmissibility depends on the specific condition and its origin. Only a medical evaluation can determine it with certainty; that is why we invite you to an in-person assessment with our team.
