The main cause of folliculitis is said to be down to some kind of irritation of the hair follicles. This may be as a result of using a certain skin product such as a cream, lotion or even foam and perhaps even friction caused by tight fitting clothes. The hair follicles then become disturbed and this in turn can lead to infection. Overheating can aggravate the condition even more causing the skin to itch. Scratching of course only emphasises the redness and causes the appearance of the skin to look worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
