Demodex & Folliculitis

Folliculitis often appears as red bumps, pustules, itching, burning, scalp irritation, beard bumps, chest breakouts, and recurring inflamed follicles. Many people treat the symptoms for years without finding the real cause. In many cases, Demodex mites, bacterial overgrowth, fungal imbalance, or a combination of all three may trigger the problem. These microscopic mites live in hair follicles and can worsen inflammation and irritation. This section covers scalp, facial, chest, back, beard, neck, and recurrent folliculitis, along with fungal vs bacterial folliculitis differences and long-term treatment solutions.
