Hi Guys, I suffered from FD (folliculitis decalvans) for at least 6 years, probably longer before it was properly diagnosed. I know this has been stated for sometime now, but PLEASE research alternatives to antibiotics. I’m confident that most (if not all) cases can be directly attributed to strains of yeast cultivating deep within the cavities of the intestines and stomach. I made major diet changes, started incorporating fermented foods, and have been on a regimen of high doses of vitamin C, turmeric, probiotics, zinc, magnesium, caprylic acid, molybdenum, and now horopito.

My honest opinion stands: this is an immune system problem of some sort, compounded by various allergies and a weakened bodily state. Now, what the catalyst behind this is, for me, is still in question. It could be diet rela ...

Hi Guys, I just wanted to write to you and hopefully offer all of you who are suffering from these various forms of folliculitis and other scalp ailments some light at the end of the tunnel, because it is there, somewhere.

I was subsequently put on a regimen of doxycycline (along ...
