I definitely have bacterial folliculitis (it's responding to oral antibiotics and hibicylens, but I can't fully get rid of it). What are my best options for an antibacterial cream or ointment? (I'd want it to be broad spectrum, since even though I suspect staph, I'm not completely sure).
Edit: The folliculitis is on my scalp (recurrent for the last 10+ years).
About a week ago I was reading through this Reddit group, and I think somebody mentioned that they mix hibiclens with lotion and leave it on their skin. At first I thought this was a weird idea, but as I've been thinking about it, I think it might be worth a try. Unfortunately I can't track down the original post or comment.
Is this a common way to treat folliculitis? Has anybody done this? Do you think it might be worth trying?
My POIS symptoms mostly go away if I take SSRIs, St. John's Wort, or SAMe. However, my body is very sensitive, and I get bad side effects from all these medicines, so I can't stay on them.

Are there any other herbs or medications I could try? Thank you!
