Finally cured my scalp Folliculitis after several years

After trying every theory spending a fortune on different products I have eventually cured my scalp Folliculitis by taking subtilis bacitilis mb40 probiotic which lowers staph levels.
I have taken these for a month I’m not sure whether to keep taking them or not as they are roughly £30/£35 a month so any advice on that would be welcome!

nothing seems to help

i have tried accutane, ketaconozole, antibiotic tablets and creams, azelaic acid
A ton of shampoos including salycylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, ACV, Zinc pyrithione, selenium
sulfide, etc

nothing helps, NOTHING

i keep getting itchy and painful bumps like these, they come and go every week in similar areas

Will lasering my facial hair end this?

For over 2 years my beard hair on my neck and jawline has been a warzone. Red follicles everywhere, constantly getting sore bumps or white heads. Its on my scalp too but I can deal with the scalp as its not visible, not like the face.

No treatments work, nothing from dermatology works.

Its ruined my self esteem and this has in turn made me very lonely,.depressed and suicidal.

I am mentally and physically exhausted from this fight. I feel so tired and done with life.

If i take a loan and get my beard hair lasered off. Will it make it go away? And will the red follicles stop being red and go back to normal?
