Laser hair removal/ boils - folliculitis (Photos)

Recurrent folliculitis, boils, and PIH may be related to a lack of exfoliation or hidradenitis. I would use Melapads daily on the problem areas to tackle both problems. Consider laser hair removal with Yag laser. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianRealself100 Surgeon

Welcome to Nashville and thank you for your question.  Laser-assisted hair removal can be helpful in reducing the incidence of folliculitis.  It is also important to ensure that you do not have bacterial infections which might require antibiotic therapy.  Once your skin is not inflamed, assessment for laser hair removal would be appropriate.  It does appear that your hair is of the right size and color to be ideal for hair removal treatment.  Best of luck.

Thanks for your question and welcome to Nashville. The photos are helpful.  Laser hair removal can be helpful here but we do need the skin to be not as inflamed as some of the photos you shared.  We would recommend a consultation with a board certified dermatologist who can work with you to clear the folliculitis that you are having (inflammation of the hair follicles) and then recommend an appropriate laser or light source to remove or lessen the hairs in the affected areas.  Our office has been involved in laser hair removal for over 25 years now and we have numerous devices that we use to achieve the best results possible.
