Facial bacterial infections: Folliculitis
2014
Abstract Facial bacterial infections are most commonly caused by infections of the hair follicles. Wherever pilosebaceous units are found folliculitis can occur, with the most frequent bacterial culprit being Staphylococcus aureus . We review different origins of facial folliculitis , distinguishing bacterial forms from other infectious and non-infectious mimickers. We distinguish folliculitis from pseudofolliculitis and perifolliculitis . Clinical features, etiology, pathology, and management options are also discussed.
