Scalp folliculitis is an inflammatory skin condition caused by the clogging up of hair follicles. The condition may also be referred to as scalp acne, Barber’s Itch and Tinea Barbae. It can and does affect both men and women, no matter what age. The term scalp folliculitis can be misleading as it can appear on any part of the body that has hair follicles, such as the armpits and legs.
It shows up as smallish, white-yellow pustules encircled by red blisters. If scratched, the pustules can seep pus or sebum. Scalp folliculitis can also develop into boils and in some cases bacteria can enter the bloodstream through an infected follicle.
A constant itch along the hairline could be an indication that scalp folliculitis is present. Although it can spread all over the scalp, in most cases, only a small area will be infected. If the area is continually scratched, a normal urge in most people, the infected section may become hard and crusty, which only serves to increase the need to scratch and make matters much worse.
In a similar manner to the cause of acne, folliculitis is caused by bacteria and fungi becoming trapped in pores of the skin. A main cause of bacterial infections is the Staphylococcus bacteria, which is also responsible for some eye and nose infections. Scalp folliculitis is caused by an invasion of damaged hair follicles by bacteria.
Certain existing circumstances can also promote the development of scalp folliculitis, providing the right environment for the condition to thrive and grow. These include:
-wearing tight clothing
-excessive sweating
- already suffering from diabetes, eczema or dermatitis
-hot and humid environment
It should also be noted that scalp folliculitis is very contagious, so great care should be taken to avoid sharing of items such as towels and brushes.
As always, professional medical advice is advisable when looking for treatment options. However, nowadays, natural treatment options are widely used by many who wish to avoid antibiotics.
