Folliculitis

I completed radiation on 3rd April.  A couple of weeks later, I noticed small red bumps on my breast.  The radiation oncologist thinks it is folliculitis and has me exfoliating the infected area.  Has anyone got any tips for controlling this?  Sally.

    Hi Janina,

    Thank you so much.  I will ask my GP next week when I see him.

    Hi Sally, My doc prescribed Bactroban cream (not 100% but pretty sure that's what it was called) for me when I got folliculitis all over my head. Worked a treat and started getting results within a week. Best, Janina
