How does folliculitis occur in men and what are the symptoms of folliculitis in the genitals in men

What causes annoying folliculitis? There are three points to understand about the causes of folliculitis.

Folliculitis simply means that the hair follicles are inflamed, and folliculitis in men is usually one of the warning signs of baldness.

Folliculitis is caused by an inflammatory reaction caused by a mold or bacterial infection of the hair follicles, and patients usually have redness, swelling or itching symptoms in the scalp, chest, back, upper arms, shoulders, scalp, groin and buttocks and other parts of the body that are full of oil secretion, and sometimes there are raised small papules or pustules of purulence. Yang Mingquan, a famous hair transplant doctor, said that the cause of folliculitis is the strong secretion of sebum, not paying attention to one's own cleanliness or excessive cleaning, plus staying up late and the disease to form a decrease in immunity.

Hair follicles under human hair go through three dynamic cycles of growth, degeneration, and dormancy. At the beginning, after the hair follicle cells are transformed into hair, it will continue for 2 7 years of anagen, and then enter the degenerative phase when the hair stops growing and is prone to hair loss, the degenerative phase usually lasts for about 2 3 weeks, and then the hair follicles enter the dormant period of 3 months, during this time, the hair that does not fall out in the degenerative period will fall out, and the hair follicles will rest and prepare for regeneration, and then they will enter the next anagen phase again.

Yang Mingquan said that male folliculitis is more likely to occur on the scalp, which is caused by many male motorcycle riders, employees of clean rooms in the electronics industry or entertainers who have been in a state of unventilated and stuffy scalp for a long time, or have used excessive hair wax for a long time and excessive rubbing of clothing against the scalp. However, if the scalp is exposed to high temperature, sweat and humidity for a long time, coupled with weakened immunity or the scalp is allergic to certain substances, it is easy to cause folliculitis and cause cicatricial hair loss.

At this time, if you gently pull the hair within 1 square centimeter of the scalp with your hands, if you tear off more than 3 hair, it means that the hair quality has been in an unhealthy state, and the hair follicles of the scalp may have entered the dormant period. The low-energy laser produces a photochemical reaction with the mitochondria of the cell, which helps scalp maintenance, avoids hair thinning and slows down hair loss, and can also be used with oral medicine to improve the success rate of hair growth, or it is recommended to use it after hair transplant surgery to accelerate wound healing and help hair rebuild a good growth environment.

Yang Mingquan emphasized that hair loss is an irreversible phenomenon, and if the cost of wearing hair tablets or hair transplants is not too much, adjusting the diet and rest, allowing the endocrine to control the hair follicles to secrete oil normally, and cleaning the scalp to protect folliculitis, is the fundamental way to stay away from the crisis of hair loss.
