Blocked hair follicle? Recurrent skin issue scarring options (Photo)

July 17, 2024
Asked By:375g95 in Coffeyville, Kansas

Hello doctors! Around October 2023 I had what I think was an inflamed or blocked hair follicle on my stomach. Since that time, the original lesion seems to heal, them becomes inflamed again and expands. The scarring is becoming horrible. What is this and what can I do to treat it and mitigate the scarring? It seems to have fibrous tissue or velours hairs inside. I am prone to ingrown hairs, but usually a dark hair emerges eventually.
