Will laser hair removal help with folliculitis around the buttocks?

Thank you for your question!  Laser hair removal treatment can be an effective treatment for folliculitis.  Please keep in mind that a consultation would be necessary to determine if this is the best treatment option for you.  I recommend scheduling an appointment with an experienced doctor in order to achieve the best results.  All the best!

Great question! If you are a candidate for laser hair removal, this may be a great option to decrease the opportunity for folliculitis to reoccur. I recommend that you have a consultation with an MD that has experience in laser hair removal.  There are also various treatments for scarring that can be discussed at this time as well. 

Excellent question. If the folliculitis is recurrent due to infection, laser hair removal may help treat this condition. As for scarring in the area, there are also other laser treatments available that can help reduce the appearance of these as well. Your physician will be able to provide you with more details concerning your options for both, the folliculitis and scarring.
