I have suffered with Folliculitis for the last 4 years and have tried all of the remedies I found on the Internet, including apple cider vinegar steroid creams and antibiotics but with no success I would find that it would just decrease and when I though it was going away it come back worse than ever, it was on my face and couldn't shave and was speading onto my head and down my neck but it wasn't until I read a blog here about the Low Iron Anaemia.
This reminded me that awhile ago I had a full blood test and the result found that I had a vitamin D deficiency and had been given some supplements but forgot to take them I thought that I would just get more sun.
I remembered that about 4 years ago I stopped drinking milk for some unknown reason I then read somewhere else that you cannot absorb vitamin D without calcium so I thought maybe all these things were connected I have now for the last couple of weeks been having a glass of milk with a egg in the morning and I have still contuinued to use the ACV and have found it has cleared up for the first time.
I also had dry scaly skin on my legs and forarms and that has cleared up as well I hope this will help and would be interested to hear if anyone else has found they have a vitamin D deficiency.

Me mamun2a from Dhaka, Bangladesh. I had Foliculities from almost 4 years. It was start from my head/scalp itching. At that time I met a Dermatologist he gave me some med n a Zinc Pyrithione base shampoo after 3/4 months no result. Stop using all. 6-7 month did not use anything without Zinc pyrithion base shampoo. In the meantime the bumps r begin spread on my eyebrow and face, again move to another dermatologist, he defined it as Foliculitis n give me powerful Antibiotics Azythromycin 5 course on 5 weeks with zinc pyrothion shampoo, anti alargic tablet and advice to wash face with Dove soap. These worked very nice I was totally cured in 3 weeks though I completed the 5 course. But after 3-4 months its start to return again ….
Then from Jan 2012 I tried with Homeopathic and stopped those on mid March due to no result. Meantime my my head is almost clear from bumps till June, but now my face is developing foliculitis, now it increasing mostly in face. Now I realize may be Homeo med worked because there was myth that Homeopathy work slowly.
Now I will come to this site for find a permanent solution for it.

Try Bitter Melon Caps, and Dr. J. H. McLean's Volcanic Oil on the scalp, mixed with lotion on the face. The active ingreadient is medicinal grade turpintine. If you are going to start again with the homeopathy remedies, you should use the above mentioned oil. Also try using a sulfur based soap. Hope that helps.

Meant to say, you should not use the oil with homeopathy. Wash your bedding using borax as your condition may be linked to a type of mite.
