For patients with recurrent attacks, you can try your own vaccine or multivalent staphylococcus vaccine.
Some folliculitis always recurs every year, especially for friends who often sweat. In this case, the focus of diagnosis and treatment should be not only on folliculitis itself, but also on internal adjustment.
