I've been dealing with folliculitis in my pubic area after shaving, and I've already tried using antibiotic creams and pills. It's been over three weeks now, and while the pimples seem to have improved, the issue still isn't fully resolved. Should I be worried that it's taking this long to heal? Is there anything else I can do to make it go away completely?
