Hair folliculitis, an inflammation of hair follicles, manifests itself as small, pimple-like bumps around hair shafts. A common cause is bacterial infection.
For centuries, people have sought treatments to alleviate the discomfort and potential scarring associated with hair folliculitis. Today, antibiotics and other medications provide effective remedies. Additionally, ancient herbal treatments, such as aloe vera and tea tree oil, offer natural alternatives.
