Folliculitis is an infection of the hair follicles that often appears as small pimples around one or more hair follicles. There are several types of both superficial folliculitis and deep folliculitis, and folliculitis symptoms range from itchiness to pain and possible scarring.
Some common types of superficial folliculitis include pseudomonas folliculitis (hot tub folliculitis), staphylococcal folliculitis (barber itch), and pseudofolliculitis barbae.
