Folliculitis can affect many people, and it often occurs in areas with high concentrations of sweat glands and frequent skin-on-skin friction, such as the armpits, inner thighs, or groin. It can also appear on the scalp, beard area, chest, and back. Some cases clear up with treatment, while others can become chronic. Many people diagnosed with hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) also experience folliculitis, and it can occur in the same areas affected by HS or in other unrelated locations.
