Folliculitis
Folliculitis is a skin condition everyone will experience at least once in their lifetime. When the hair follicles become inflamed due to bacterial or fungal infection, folliculitis develops. Inflammation causes redness and swelling, forming pustules or bumps on the skin. Meanwhile, folliculitis patients also have symptoms like irritation and itchiness.
It is reported that summer can increase the likelihood of folliculitis flare-up because people sweat more heavily in the season. Besides, an elevated risk of developing folliculitis happens to those who don’t change workout clothes in time. Tight attire wet with sweat completely fits the skin after exercising, making bacteria easier to reach hair follicles. [4]
