Can folliculitis patients eat eggs?
Folliculitis is a disease caused by inflammation and infection within the body, which is related to the patient's long-term consumption of spicy and stimulating food, staying up late, feeling anxious or stressed, and frequent visits to public baths. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) believes that this condition is associated with internal damp-heat and toxic dampness. After the onset of folliculitis, eating chicken eggs generally has no impact, as eggs primarily contain protein and cholesterol, which do not affect folliculitis. However, it is essential to avoid spicy and stimulating foods, try not to stay up late, and regularly exercise to enhance immunity. Treatment can involve oral and topical anti-inflammatory medications. If some folliculitis lesions are particularly large, they can be disinfected locally and then punctured to drain the pus. (Specific medications should be used under the guidance of a physician.)
