Long term folliculitis is a very common condition that can be treated with regular visits to your dermatologist. The inflammation caused by this condition can cause severe discomfort, but once it’s under control you’ll be able to enjoy your skin again!
Treat the inflammation.
Use a topical steroid cream or ointment. Topical steroids are prescription medications that reduce inflammation, pain and redness by blocking the production of inflammatory chemicals. They’re often used to treat skin conditions like eczema and rosacea, but they can also be helpful for long term folliculitis because they work by decreasing swelling and redness in your skin.
Use moisturizer with SPF 30 or higher if you have dry skin types (like me!). Moisturizers contain ingredients like glycerin which helps keep our skin hydrated—and it doesn’t hurt that they’re often infused with antioxidants too! If you don’t want to use one specifically formulated for acne prone skin types then try applying some coconut oil instead – just remember not too much though because coconut oil itself may make things worse if applied too liberally!
Take care when cleansing your face as well – especially before bedtime where dirt tends accumulate on our faces overnight due to lack of movement during sleep hours; try using gentle cleansers instead such as those containing glycolic acid (found naturally occurring in apples) which helps remove dead surface cells while preserving more healthy ones underneath them.”
Choose the right moisturizer.
The right moisturizer is essential for treating long-term folliculitis. It should be oil-free, fragrance-free, not thick or greasy, and not oily.
Choose the right moisturizer:
Look for one that’s oil-free and fragrance-free. This will help prevent further irritation on your skin from ingredients in other products you use on your face such as cleansers or toners that may irritate the area around your hairline (or elsewhere). You also want to avoid irritating ingredients like alcohols; these can cause dryness as well as inflammation which could lead to more breakouts down the road!
Avoid harsh chemicals.

Avoid soap and detergents.
Avoid shampoos and conditioners.
Avoid hair dye, hair products, styling products or waxes that contain harsh chemicals such as sulfates or parabens (which are used in many beauty products).
Manage stress, diet and exercise regularly.
Managing stress is a key part of getting rid of long term folliculitis. Stress can cause inflammation in the body, which can lead to a flare up of folliculitis symptoms. Stressful events like work deadlines or family arguments may be the trigger for your condition when they occur regularly. Try to avoid these situations whenever possible and find ways to manage your stress levels so that it does not become an ongoing problem for you.
A healthy diet is also important for managing your long term folliculitis symptoms and keeping them under control over time. Consume plenty of fruits and vegetables every day because these foods contain antioxidants that help fight off free radicals caused by inflammation on the skin surface surrounding hair follicles (follicular openings). Additionally, make sure you are getting enough sleep each night because this helps restore normal function within cells throughout your body as well as reduce fatigue levels associated with chronic fatigue syndrome among other health conditions including cancer treatment side effects such as nausea/vomiting due
