Do you have white bumps on your arms? Do you know what that means? It might be folliculitis!
Folliculitis can happen in any part of the body, even in the scalp. It happens because the hair follicles can get inflamed.
Because they become a little swollen and reddish, many people confuse them with pimples.
Folliculitis can cause some symptoms, such as itchiness, pain or sensitivity, burning sensation, and rough, dry, or flaking skin.
Folliculitis usually appears because of ingrown hairs, but it can also be caused by fungal or bacterial infections, causing some redness on the skin and small bumps filled with pus, similar to acne, that cause itchiness and burning sensation.
It is more common on the buttocks, groins, legs, arms, beard, and scalp and is more likely to show on people who wear tight clothes, wear makeup, those who shave.
