  • @arstechnica@mastodon.social #Folliculitis is the one I sometimes deal with. I use to get rid of it really quickly with #Doxycycline, but its useless now. My new line of defense is #cephalexin, but its getting a fight, I have to take it for longer periods. When you live in densely populated areas, touching door knobs, elevator buttons, you are bound to catch it. Washing your hands, sanitizing and avoid touching your face is the best you can do, but thats super hard.
