Guide To The Warning Signs Of Folliculitis

Large Swollen Bumps

When folliculitis is severe, it can cause large swollen bumps to appear as abscesses or other lesions. Red bumps that seem to protrude from the surface of the skin are often a sign of folliculitis. Sometimes it can manifest as a single bump, while other times, there may be a series of large swollen bumps. When the bumps are large and swollen, patients will deal with an aching or burning pain. They may be easily mistaken for other skin conditions such as pimples, carbuncles, boils, and cysts. These bumps can seemingly appear overnight or gradually grow over a few days. As folliculitis can sometimes occur in areas where individuals shave, these bumps can become even more swollen if they are further irritated by a razor.
