I keep getting red bumps on my back and chest (Folliculitis).

It may look similar to acne, but it could be "folliculitis" caused by bacterial or fungal infection. Improving your skin environment is more important than the overuse of antibiotic ointment.

모낭염은 털구멍(모낭)에 염증이 생긴 상태입니다.

  • 원인: 덥고 습한 환경, 마찰, 면도 독, 장기간의 항생제 사용
  • 구별: 여드름 씨앗(면포)이 없고, 농포 주변이 붉게 부어오름
  • 치료: 습열을 제거하고 피부 면역력을 높여 세균 저항성을 키웁니다.
💡 제모 주의

면도기나 족집게 사용 후 모낭염이 자주 생깁니다. 도구 소독을 철저히 하고 제모 후엔 반드시 진정 관리를 해주세요.
