Folliculitis
Folliculitis is a disorder characterised by the inflammation of hair follicles, which is usually caused by an infection or an allergy. Red lumps or pus-filled blisters may appear on your skin as a result of this condition. If the infection is not treated promptly, it has the potential to spread and produce blemishes.
