This image shows a typical case of folliculitis. The lesions of folliculitis may have a slight crust on top. This image displays a close-up of folliculitis with one of the lesions being pus-filled. The lesions of scalp folliculitis can be very itchy, resulting in scratching and scabs. This image displays very small pus-filled lesions centered on the hair follicles. After the initial small, red bump or pus-filled lesion, folliculitis lesions often form a small crust or scab. Small pus-filled lesions form around hair follicles in folliculitis. Folliculitis with CA-MRSA (community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcal aureus) confirmed by culture of the affected area.
