I have I have become my own doctor because nobody else can help me. I too have found that neem oil seems to be the best remedy for my folliculitis. I only seem to get it in my scalp. When I shave my head the condition seems to get better, probably because I can get to it without the hair. More to share soon.
Neem Oil

I want to share what's helped for me.
- Neem Soap
- Cetaphil antibacterial soap
(both helped greatly, and about equally)
- Keeping nails trimmed, body hair short, and disinfecting clothes when washed. If it's in a particular area and you wear the same clothes (washed) there all the time, try buying some new ones.
- Washing once to twice a day.
- A light, non-comedogenic moisturiser when your skin gets dry. Otherwise leave it off.
- Let the air circulate around your skin and try not to wear clothes that rub too much.
- Leave infected hair follicles alone as much as possible. If you don't you'll only make it worse.
- Don't use washcloths unless necessary.
- Ensure you're dry before you dress.
- I've found that a good probiotic (I use Udo's) may help.
Over time this has helped me greatly, but it still hasn't entirely gone away. If I stop using the soap, it will get worse again.

About Five years ago the folliculitis spread to my face and i started getting severe acne cysts that would last for months and bleed. I found Neem to be especially helpful in clearing that condition up. I have tried every product on my face and when i found the Neem ___, with regular usage (daily) it cleared my face up. It does smell though so i use it at night before bed. Hopefully they will allow these product names so some of you can find relief. I am now trying the ACV and turmeric as well to see how they do.
