Folliculitis coming back after 10 months?
Hey, everyone.
I'm the same guy from this post:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Folliculitis/comments/1j97w29/folliculitis_caused_by_klebsiella_aerogenes/
(I had to make a new account because I lost access to the previous one.)
The plan I eventually followed was this:
February: Ciproxin & Dalacin C for 15 days
March: Ciproxin & Dalacin C for 21 days
May-June: Ciproxin for 30 days
July: Bactrimel for 9 days (I was prescribed 14 days but stopped at 9 because I was having some minor allergic reactions)
I also used Bactroban inside my nostrils for 10 days if I recall correctly.
I was done with medication on July 7, 2025.
My face was super clear and I was very very happy to get back my life and my normal routine.
Then sadly, when May 2026 arrived, I started having folliculitis again.
These pictures are from the last 15 days.
Is it possible to be completely clear for 10 months, then have the infection rapidly come back like this?
The area of pustules is also quite vast which is alarming me.
I also wonder if this is caused by Klebsiella aerogenes or Staphylococcus aureus, or something else this time.
What do you guys think?
Anyone who managed to get their skin clear once and for all?
