    OTC Folliculitis Remedy?

    Hey everyone. I've got a pretty bad case of folliculitis on my chest. I never got it before until the last time I shaved my chest a few weeks ago and my g/f said I wouldn't get it again if I waxed instead. So I let her put her cosmetology school skills to good use and wax my chest. She lied. Not only is it worse, but my chest is also red and inflammed from the waxing. She waxed my back too (although there was only like 2 little patches of hair) and that turned out fine. Just the chest is the problem.

    Does anyone have any OTC folliculitis remedies that I can use? This sh1t is just gross. Thanks bros.

    Folliculitis is a bacterial infection of irritated hair follicles. Everyone has bacteria that lives on their skin and when a hair follicle becomes irritated it makes the area more prone to infection from this bacteria.

    So any topical antibiotics containing Polymyxin B, Bacitracin, Hydrocortisone, and Neomycin such as Neosporin will help.
