Beware, the next time you wear body hugging or skin tight clothes!
Close-fitting clothes might be in-thing today, but they could be dangerous for skin.
Dermatologists or skin doctors warn that clothes put pressure to body's curves, especially the groin area that restricts skin's ability to breathe and ventilate and lead to folliculitis, a hair follicle infection.
Though tight-clothes are among the major irritants, exercise clothes and shapewear also feature in this category. Even, synthetic fabrics could cause folliculitus as they trap moisture and bacteria.
Medical treatment lessens the problems, but it is natural fabrics that work better and offer fast relief, dermatologists say.
