What Is Folliculitis?
Folliculitis is a form of staphylococcal infection. Its symptoms are lumps and pimples on the hands or chest (e.g., after shaving). The skin rashes that often occur after shaving should not be ignored, as if left untreated, they can lead to a fissure or a boil. Folliculitis may be a superficial or deep infection caused by bacteria. Inflammation most often occurs in places where the skin rubs intensively against clothes (back, neck).
