Derm Appointment

Folliculitis is what Dan's Dermatologist said is wrong with his poor head. It's all inflamed and tender on the back of his head. It is usually caused by bacteria, Staphylococcus being the most common cause. It can also be caused by yeast or fungus. Folliculitis caused by a fungus is most often seen in people who have trouble fighting infections because they have an impaired immune system. So it was probally caused from his low immune system and made worse by having to wear winter caps in the cold and rubbing on the pillow at night. The doc gave Dan medicated shampoo and lotion to put on for the next week or so until the infection clears up. His head actually looks pretty good today, the doc should have seen it about 4 days ago! (it was really hard to get a good picture of his head, but you get the idea)
