Brief Answer:
Folliculitis (infection of hairbeds) can be treated.

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thank you for asking HCM.

I have gone through your query. Folliculitis or hair bed infection can be treated properly. You can do hot fomentation on the affected area. Applying betadine ointment locally also will be helpful. If there is extensive infection then oral antibiotics will be needed. You can also take vitamin c regularly if you get it very often.

Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
