FolliculitisRead the Folliculitis article » What is folliculitis? What are folliculitis symptoms? What does folliculitis look like?Folliculitis is a common skin condition that appears as numerous small red or pink little bumps at hair follicles. It can cause a "chicken skin" appearance on the skin. Folliculitis can affect any part of the skin, including the chest, back, arms, legs, buttocks, and cheeks.
