- 1). After detecting the first signs of an infection, consult with a medical professional who can prescribe antibiotics or an anti-fungal treatment to get rid of the folliculitis.
- 2). Take the antibacterial treatment prescribed by your doctor according to her instructions. These medicines may come in the form of a topical antibiotic cream, or a pill to be taken daily or several times per day.
- 3). Apply a warm cloth compress to the affected area several times per day to help reduce the itchiness caused by folliculitis.
- 4). Wash your skin well with an antibacterial soap and pat dry with a clean towel afterward to help prevent additional bacteria from worsening the infection.
- 5). Refrain from shaving the infected area during the healing process, as this can prolong the folliculitis infection and may even cause new pustules to form.
