Folliculitis - Mounouen (English spelling)

Japanese: 毛囊炎 - もうのうえん(英語表記)folliculitis
Folliculitis - Mounouen (English spelling)
Also called folliculitis. Most cases are caused by Staphylococcus aureus infection, and pustules form at the hair opening and on the epidermis of the hair follicle. It starts as a red papule that corresponds to the hair follicle, then changes into a pustule. It is sometimes painful, and dries and heals in about a week, but if it occurs on the beard of an adult male, it becomes common hair follicle, which can be difficult to cure. It is likely to be triggered by scratching, living an unclean life, and ODT (occlusive) therapy. Boils are also a type of folliculitis. Clinical symptoms cannot be distinguished from acne (acne vulgaris).
