    Actually no. The inflammation is an immune system response to an infection. Folliculitis is caused by staph bacteria. Many people have this living on there skin. An antimicrobial or antibacterial wash should help. Don't believe me ? Ask a Dr. or Pharmacist.

    See a good dermatologist. Witch Hazel won't cure anything.

    None of this contradicts anything that I said. I understand the mechanism behind folliculitis, and even said in one of my previous posts that a dermatologist said it was probably due to wearing too tight-fitting clothing and that I could take topical antibiotics if it doesn't go away after a few months. I am aware that other people have said that their inflammation - sometimes which has arisen as a result of some type of bacterial infection - has been able to be cured by witch hazel or other natural remedies, which was why I was asking if it was reasonable to suggest that something like witch hazel might work for folliculitis, because I would rather rely on a natural remedy rather than run the risk of allowing the bacteria to become resistant to antibiotics.

    Yes, as I already said many posts ago, I have seen a dermatologist and he suggested topical antibiotics if it didn't go away after a few months. I am looking to see if there is some other alternative as I am very reluctant to use antibiotics.

    Sorry I didn't catch that. Witch Hazel still won't "cure" anything. Good luck.

    Sorry, yeah, when I asked I meant helping with it or being good for it. I presume it would keep coming back if I keep wearing too tight-fitting clothing or whatever.

    Forgive me for chiming in once again. What you have is a inflammatory ailment. There is a great deal of study lately regarding nutrition and inflammatory diseases. Most doctors are not trained in nutrition. It couldn't hurt to look up Mark Hyman, MD and his views. Do a search of "diet and inflammatory diseases".

    I have been on a whole-foods plant-based diet for almost two years, but again, it is unrelated to that, as my dermatologist said it is mostly likely due to wearing too tight-fitting clothing.

    I wouldn't listen to charlatans like Hyman. The diet that he recommends is incredibly dangerous. I wouldn't be surprised if he receives money from the meat and egg industries to espouse his views, as is usually the case with these types of people.
