Coming soonFolliculitis is an inflammatory condition affecting the hair follicle, arising primarily within the pilosebaceous units of hair-bearing skin across diverse patient populations.
Pathophysiologically, it typically develops when follicular occlusion, chemical irritation, or epidermal microtrauma enables microbial proliferation, most frequently caused by *Staphylococcus aureus*, though fungi, viruses, parasites, or sterile inflammatory processes can also induce the disorder.
Clinically, it presents as discrete, perifollicular erythematous papules or pustules that are often pruritic or tender, which may remain superficial or extend deeper into the dermis to form fluctuant nodules, furuncles, or localized abscesses.
