Folliculitis

Question

Folliculitis

Asked for Female, 21 Years

I get folliculitis after waxing since 3 months, have used a steroid cream but it's not effective. What else can I do to get rid of this problem? Should I use an antibiotic? I'm a medical student and read it in my textbook. Can I use clindamycin? A dermatologist has prescribed the steroids to me.
