Lecture 16 · What Is Folliculitis? Telling Bacterial, Fungal and Mechanical Causes Apart
How you respond to folliculitis depends entirely on its cause. The same papule can call for opposite action depending on what is behind it.
It covers the definition and classification, how the clinical pictures differ, and the order for narrowing down the cause in practice.
Who this session is for
Skin therapists, estheticians and aesthetic practitioners who see clients with reactive or problem skin. The course is educational: diagnosis and treatment belong to medical professionals, and each session ends with the signs that call for a referral.
