I'm dealing with chronic folliculitis and it's really frustrating. I've seen a dermatologist and tried ampicillin and cloxacillin tablets, which help while I'm on them. But as soon as I stop taking the medication, the infection just comes right back. Is there anything I can do to keep it from returning?

You did not mention what body part is getting affected repeatedly. Chronic folliculitis is a stubborn infection of hair follicle and takes longer time for cure. You may need longer course of an antibiotic after pus culture. Visit a dermatologist again for same.
