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
