What should I do to treat the inflamed hair follicles (folliculitis) that have developed near a hot oil burn, which I am currently treating with SS Sulfa Cream, Rinifol, and Augmentin 625?

Asked by Female, 34 · 6 days ago

It is very common to experience inflamed hair follicles near a healing burn, often because thick topical ointments like your silver sulfadiazine (SS Sulfa Cream) can trap moisture and block pores. Since you are already taking amoxicillin/clavulanate (Augmentin 625) and your probiotic (Rinifol), your system is already fighting the infection. To help the follicles heal, gently cleanse the area with mild soap and water, and avoid applying the heavy cream onto the unburned, inflamed surrounding skin. Please consult your prescribing doctor, as they may suggest a lighter topical alternative while your skin continues to heal beautifully.
