Hello the treatment given looks adequate. Further, get your sugar checked as it can be a cause of folliculitis. Also wearing cotton under wear is preferred. If the itching is too severe you can increase the levocetrizine dosage to twice daily and increase the atarax application to 3 to 4 times daily.
