Two years ago in 2020, I was diagnosed with folliculitis by the dermatologist. Initially, the infection only affected my chest hair with red bumps and were so itchy. After a few months, it spread to my pubic hair and also beard hair. It became so bad to the point that one of my beard area and hair area stopped growing due to the inflammation.

To be honest with you guys, I still have this condition today. I tried various antibiotics including doxycycline, cefixime, azithromycin, meiact and many more. Some of them helped to treat the condition, but it reoccurred again after it finished. Topical cream antibiotics helped to cool the skin temporarily, but it would get red and itchy again once I stop applying the cream.

After that experience, my hope almost became 0 as no skin doctor out there could actually cure me. I came across this website today and really enjoyed reading people's reviews. I am leaving this comment to keep you guys updated as I will try the 'ACV' and 'turmeric' remedy to update you guys on whether it worked for me. Hopefully we will be cured from this infection. Stay strong my friends, God will help us all. Amin.

H.i I was diagnosed about 2 weeks ago that I have Folliculitis Decalvans, the dermatologist gave me prescription for Rifampin 300mg twice a day and Clindamycin 300mg twice a day for 8 weeks. After purchasing the medication I did some research as I knew taking this much antibiotics for that period of time was not going to be good for my health, and reading that in some cases the bacteria came back more aggressive. I came across earth clinic site last week and I am at day 3 drinking turmeric 2 times a day and before I shower I have massaging apple cider vinegar on my scalp.

Day 3 - my scalp has almost no redness left and only 2 small pimples today. Before this my scalp was red and full of blisters and lumps, and now they are 95% gone.

My wife who has been really looking at it day in and day out is shocked with the results.

Not sure if this will last working so well or if I made the mistake and not getting on the antibiotic asap but so far so good.

The turmeric gives me a slight tummy pain but nothing really. My head is at 95% if I can keep it at this level I can live with it. Should I have jumped on the antibiotics?
