Folliculitis cure

Hi ,
I am from India, I am suffering from folliculitis for over 3 years now. I really don’t know why it started. I keep hygiene more than anyone else. I have also changed so many doctors cos’ my problem keeps reoccurring. it just wont stop. However, when I take antibiotics it would completely go away & as I stop it after a week it would come back.

The doctor I am seeing right now stopped my all antibiotics & have advised that I should be on topical Gels rather than on medicines. I am applying Clindamycin Gel on lesions & wash my hair with Cipla 8X, Sebowash & a neutral shampoo one by one.

As it keeps coming back so when I apply Gel on affected area it goes away in 4-5 days. Now I am using Gel regularly & it helps the painful & itchy lesions. At least it is better than taking antibiotics.

Doctor told me to understand my skin & take care of it. So I am doing the same. Taking lot of fruits in diet helps fighting allergies. & I am doing Hydrotherapy as well which I think is helping. Drinking 4 Glass of water everyday when I wake up before brushing my teeth.

I am hoping that one day I would permanently get rid of it till that time I would keep finding cure.
Anyone who has got permanent cure without taking antibiotics, kindly let me know.
