FOLLICULITIS: ESSENTIAL?
27th January 2020

FOLLICULITE MY LOVE!

This is what a dermatologist could certainly declaim on his knees, hand on heart in front of this cutaneous manifestation announcing a passionate exchange, but apart from this specific case, let's say it clearly for the rest of humanity. it would rather be "HELP!" » 

Very often misunderstood, folliculitis often gives rise to risky diagnoses and recommendations that only the bonesetters in our countryside could suggest. At EPILODERM, we could not miss this subject, while the very heart of our business is the hair.

What beautician in front of a complicated body hair has not secretly prayed that the regrowth does not turn into a field of poppies in the spring. Mastering a subject means being able to anticipate, act but also be able to explain it.

WHAT IS FOLLICULITIS?

Folliculitis is an infection of the pilosebaceous follicle caused by bacteria or fungus. Folliculitis is not an allergic reaction.

His favorite places are:

The back, the torso, the thighs, the buttocks, the beard, the neck. It appears in the form of pustules which turn into scabs 7 to 10 days after appearance.

WHAT CAUSES FOLLCULITIS?

– Clothing too tight, Sweating…

– Shaving…

– Bad hair removal (paper strip hair removal, removal, incorrect diagnosis, etc.)

– Hot bath, sauna or hammam…

WHAT ADVICE TO AVOID FOLLICULITIS?

– Avoid hot bath, sauna, hammam or jacuzzi after waxing.

– Avoid a sports session or massage after waxing.

– Generally avoid tight-fitting outfits (lycra or stretch, etc.)

– Choose an appropriate hair removal treatment that respects the direction of hair growth

– Control of wax removal and maintenance of tissues are widely recommended 

– Banish essential oils before or after waxing

ALL EQUAL BEFORE FOLLICULITIS?

Unfortunately, Mother Nature did not distribute the same cards to everyone. Certain ailments such as acne, oily skin or diabetes favor this type of skin lesion. It is therefore essential that the practitioner proceeds, apart from the diagnosis of basic skin and hair, to an additional questionnaire on a possible pathology favoring folliculitis. It should be noted that certain physical professions can also contribute to these outbreaks. (Sporting profession, building, etc.) The application of an antiseptic and impeccable skin hygiene can nevertheless be valuable assets. 

EPILODERM has voluntarily developed a hair removal protocol that respects the direction of hair growth and has integrated salicylic acid into the formulation of its post-depilatory care. This ingredient is the main active ingredient in the fight against ingrown hairs. A daily application optimizes the results of the hair removal treatment and acts effectively against folliculitis. 

An exceptional hair removal treatment is above all hydrated skin and quality hair. 

Epiloderment your.
