If you experience any red bumps or white-headed pimples around your hair follicles along with itchy sensation, then it can be due to a skin condition called folliculitis. Folliculitis is a skin disorder where people experience inflamed hair follicles. As we all know each hair on our body grows from a follicle and sometimes these follicles get inflamed due to infections from bacteria, virus, and fungus. Anyone can develop these bumps in different areas where hair follicles are present like face, scalp, hands, legs, thighs, chest, back, buttocks and groin. Folliculitis can be acute or chronic and in few cases, people also develop pus around the infected hair follicles

Folliculitis can also be induced due to risk factors like chemical substances, shaving, blocked skin pores due to different products, ingrown hairs, tight and rough clothing, wearing tight hair braids, injuries to the skin, obesity, weak immune system, usage of uncleaned hot bathtub and usage of few medications.
