Thanks for posting you query to health care magic.
folliculitis is a bacterial infection usually caused by
Staphylococcus group of organism. I am not understanding as shingeles are persisting for 3 year as it is a viral infection and usually cured itself within 2-3 weeks of time .
you need to give me detail of your lesion you are suspecting as
shingles.
As I understand you are getting secondary infection by bacteria and you dont need to worry just undergo some investigation and follow my instruction ,will give you great relief.
1.First go for culture and sensitivity examination for your duscharge from follicle to microbiology lab ,to know bacterial cause of infection and its sensitive antibiotic.
