Will laser hair removal help with folliculitis around the buttocks?

I have been experiencing folliculitis around my buttocks region for over 15 years now. I’ve tried every remedy I can find over the counter and even some prescription medications. I’m at the point where I’d like to rid of it for good, and stop feeling so self conscious when wearing a bathing suit. Would laser hair removal help with the folliculitis? What treatments would work best for the previous scarring caused by it?
