I occasionally have bouts of folliculitis in the genital area (including scrotum, shaft, and pubic area). The folliculitis is triggered by having vigorous sex for extended periods of time (20-30 minutes) with my GF. I make an effort to shower and use antibacterial soap after having sex but this is not always possible. I currently groom my pubic hair using electric clippers and keep it fairly short. Would laser hair removal help with this problem? Info: Asian male with pale skin and dark hair.
The answer is that it should. Folliculitis in this area is frequently is partly a resulf of ingrown hairs, so reducing the number of hairs should reduce your chances of developing of getting ingrowns. But it's important that you enter with open eyes in the sense that patients frequently do not get complete hair removal but a reduction of the numbers of hairs. In addition, there are other factors involved in folliculitis such as bacteria and trauma such as you mentioned in your question.
Depending on the doctor some say I need a test spot and other say it is not necessary. who is right?
This depends upon your skin color. Most experienced physicians can treat lighter skin individuals without performing a test area. Darker skin individuals are at greater risk of complications so I sometimes will perform several test spots in areas as hidden as possible and then wait a half hour to assess the results.
