I'm glad you got a diagnosis. I looked it up and folliculitis is inflamed hair follicles caused by bacteria of fungus. This may be good news as I assume it will be more treatable than GD. If is determined to be fungus related you should look into permanent ways to get rid of fungus as topicals may not go beneath the skin. Yeast is fungus. You mentioned many of us have multiple skin diseases at the same time. I have eczema but I also had chronic issues inside my skin without rashes. I went on an anti inflammation diet two years ago which is targeted at killing off the yeast which resides in our intestines. Good news is it worked to stop my inside skin burning and itching. I have had such success I will stay on this diets maintenance plan for life.
Cilantro helps almost 50% of us with GD, but if it doesn't help I don't know of anything else that will put it in remission other than time. I'd appreciate you updating us on your folliculitis treatment plan and sharing your results.

Yes now my research will go into bacteria or fungus. Derm thought bacteria not fungus. But, I have rosacea and seborrheic dermatitis on my scalp so not ruling out fungus just bc Derm said so. I thought I had Grover’s for over a year bc of last Derm.
