Folliculitis

Description

Title:

Folliculitis

Text:

Colleagues,
I have a patient with recurring folliculitis on his residuum(trans-tibial
amp). He currently has a custom TEC liner and uses medicated A&D. The socket
is comfortable for him but the folliculitis persists.

There is a new laser depilatory system available that actually kills the hair
follicle. He is considering it.

Has anyone had experience with the remediation of folliculitis with the use
of depilitory agents?
