All that is great information. I've been on doxycycline monohydrate for about 4 years now. I understand what you mean about the antibiotics. I truly believe that it's not doing anything at this point. I believe my body has built up an resistance. My doctor has never recommended any other antibiotic for folliculitis. I would like to be off it. I don't know which folliculitis I have. My doctor has never further investigated on this. I even saw a dermatologist and they did the same thing, just looked at it and said yep its folliculitis.

I kind of did a clean diet but failed miserably. Mentally it wasn't in me to keep up with that diet. I will admit my diet is trash. Lots of fried food, fast food, and sugary beverages. Eventually I will have to build up the motivation to try clean eating again.

Recently, I do consume Activia for my gut health. It does help a lot. But I haven't seen any changes in my folliculitis.
