If you’re experiencing red, inflamed bumps or itchy skin, you may be dealing with folliculitis.
Folliculitis is a common skin condition that can affect anyone, causing discomfort, pain and frustration. Dr Malay and his team specialise in providing effective folliculitis treatment, including laser treatment for folliculitis scars, so you can embrace clear, healthy skin once more.
Folliculitis occurs when hair follicles become inflamed or infected due to bacteria, fungi or other irritants. There are many different types, however, in general folliculitis appears around hair follicles as clustered red bumps or white-head pimples, swollen, painful, and itchy bumps, or pus-filled blisters that pop and crust over.
This can not only be a source of pain and discomfort, but embarrassment for some people.If this is you, please contact the friendly team at Malay Mehta Aesthetic Clinic for help. We can tailor therapy to your unique needs, such as topical ointments, minor surgery or in extreme cases, laser hair removal.
The various types of folliculitis are classified according to the cause and the skin depth of the condition.
This condition is caused by a bacteria known as staphylococcus aureus. However, it can be the result of fungal or viral infections and ingrown hairs.
While anyone can suffer from this skin condition, there are several factors that increase your risk of developing folliculitis:

The signs and symptoms will vary depending on the type you have and what it’s caused by. In general, people will notice:
Malay Mehta Aesthetic Clinic offers customised treatment options, tailored to the specific skin condition.
For milder and superficial conditions of the skin, we can use topical creams, ointments or soaps. These medicated treatments can fight fungal and bacterial infections, and calm the inflammation.
In the case of large, numerous boils or carbuncles a minor surgery to drain pus may be required. This will prevent the infection from spreading and restore your follicles to good health.
Laser hair removal is used in extreme or recurrent cases of the folliculitis. This destroys the hair follicle, removing the source or irritation and infection.
We also offer expert and professional laser treatment for scars. Scarring can occur as a complication, where there are multiple infections, or your condition has not been managed correctly.
There are several things you can do to prevent this skin condition from occurring:
The cost of folliculitis treatment in Mumbai will vary, depending on which type of treatment you need.
Minimally invasive treatments, such as medicated ointments will be cheaper than more invasive methods such as laser hair removal or minor surgery. However, the best option for therapy depends on the severity and type of folliculitis you have.

You can find all the commonly asked questions about folliculitis below.
The most common cause for this skin condition is the bacteria, staphylococcus aureus. This bacteria gets inside your hair follicles and causes inflammation and infection, leading to folliculitis.
This condition changes appearance depending on what type and where it is located. Typically it will appear as clusters of red or white pus-filled bumps, like pimples, or larger bumps and always around hair follicles.
You are more likely to get this condition if you:
Dr Malay has a degree in dermatology. He is skilled at assessing your skin condition and identifying the cause of your discomfort. He will conduct a comprehensive skin examination and discuss your medical history to form an accurate diagnosis. If you have a pus-filled bump or other symptoms of infection, he may take a small sample of the skin, pus or exudate from the hair follicle.
Laser hair removal can help manage your symptoms by removing the hair follicles. This reduces hair growth and inflammation, however a permanent cure is not always guaranteed.
Laser treatment for scars has proven to be quite effective. Please speak to our friendly team today to discuss if this is an option for you to achieve clearer skin.
The appropriate, and fastest, way to cure your skin condition depends on the type and severity. Consulting a dermatologist or other medical professional, for tailored advice is the best course of action for effective management.
It’s a relatively common skin condition, and affects people of all ages, gender and skin type.
It can recur, especially if the underlying causes or risk factors are not addressed. Preventative measures, like avoiding tight clothing or hot tubs, can help reduce the likelihood of it coming back.
