What is the main recommendation for treating folliculitis?

  1. Immediate surgery

  2. Topical steroids

  3. Antibacterial or antifungal medication

  4. Regular application of petroleum jelly

The correct answer is: Antibacterial or antifungal medication

It is recommended to treat folliculitis with either antibacterial or antifungal medications. Immediate surgery (option A) is not necessary unless the condition is severe or prolonged. Topical steroids (option B) are not effective in treating bacterial or fungal infections and can actually worsen the condition. Regular application of petroleum jelly (option D) may provide temporary relief of symptoms, but will not cure the underlying infection.
