Re: Can't Get Rid of Folliculitis Decalvans
I'm 20 years down the folliculitis line, and have had to shave as necessary during bad flare ups.
When shaving with a blade, yes it will make some cuts, and quite a bit of blood at the beginning, but it's essential to use a blade, and clean with isopropyl alcohol wipes straight after.
Stings a bit, but it's a nice sting, knowing you're getting your scalp nice and clean.
Shaving with clippers / electric razor has NOWHERE NEAR the same effect, I can't emphasize that enough. And also the alcohol wipes are ESSENTIAL.
I also use Bathroom Wipes twice a day now, containing Benzalkonium Chloride 0.25g/100g, and my scalp is 100% clear.
All very cheap, and no meds.
This is my experience, just wanted to share it in case it's of any help.
Good luck
