I think I have scalp folliculitis. I’m not sure but my friend told me that. He used to have small problem with them and he told me also that some folliculitis may go away without medical treatment within two to three days. I want to know What causes scalp folliculitis?

When follicles are damaged, they may be invaded by viruses, bacteria or fungi, leading to infections such as folliculitis. The most common causes of hair follicle damage usually are inflammatory skin conditions (dermatitis and acne), injuries to skin, such as abrasions or surgical wounds or even friction from shaving or tight clothing.
