Folliculitis is certainly curable. Folliculitis, inflammation of the hair follicles that may develop into a bacterial or fungal infection, usually manifests as an itchy, painful, blistering and/or oozing rash surrounding one or more infected follicles. Folliculitis can be caused by a variety of pathogens and can develop to various levels of severity and thus has many options for treatment. Most mild cases of folliculitis will eventually go away on their own. However, it's possible to speed this process by taking good care of the infected area. Rinse and dry with a clean, dry washcloth or towel. ry a simple salt-water compress. Warm compresses are rags or other absorbent materials soaked in warm liquid and held against the affected area to sooth irritation, promote drainage, and speed the healing process. Using salt water for your compress conveys an added antibacterial benefit (albeit a minor one). To create a salt-water compress, first dissolve a few spoonfuls of table salt in a cup or two of warm water. Soak a clean cotton ball or washcloth in the salt water and hold it gently against the affected area. Don't shave the area. Folliculitis is often brought on by irritation caused by shaving or unsanitary shaving practices. If you have folliculitis on the skin under your beard or another area that you regularly shave, give that area a break from shaving. Persistent shaving can irritate the area and even spread the disease from one patch of hair to the next. Don't touch the area. Fingers and hands are among the most common vectors for bacteria. This means that they carry and transmit bacteria much like an airplane carries and transmits people. Although the area may itch, sting, or smart, it's important to resist the urge to itch or pick at the infected area. Treat the area like an off-limits area Don't wear tight clothing. The mechanical action of clothing rubbing against the skin throughout the day can cause chafing and irritation which can potentially lead to infection. Additionally, skin infections can also result if any clothing prevents air from reaching the skin. If you are prone to folliculitis, ensure that your clothing is soft and loose-fitting to minimize any potential irritation. Don't bathe or swim in untreated water. Folliculitis is colloquially called "hot tub rash" for good reason. Swimming, bathing, or otherwise submerging yourself in a pool or hot tub that is improperly maintained is a common way to receive a folliculitis infection.

Rubella is a contagious disease caused by a virus. It is also called German measles, but it is caused by a different virus than measles. Most people who get rubella usually have mild illness, with symptoms that can include a low-grade fever, sore throat, and a rash that starts on the face and spreads to the rest of the body. Some people may also have a headache, pink eye, and general discomfort before the rash appears. Rubella can cause a miscarriage or serious birth defects in an unborn baby if a woman is infected while she is pregnant. Rubella can be prevented with MMR vaccine. This protects against three diseases: measles, mumps, and rubella. CDC recommends children get two doses of MMR vaccine, starting with the first dose at 12 through 15 months of age, and the second dose at 4 through 6 years of age. Teens and adults also should also be up to date on their MMR vaccination.MMR vaccine is very safe and effective. One dose of the MMR vaccine is about 97% effective at preventing rubella.Children may also get MMRV vaccine, which protects against measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella (chickenpox). This vaccine is only licensed for use in children who are 12 months through 12 years of age. Symptoms of allergic reaction are Difficulty in breathing or swallowing hives itching, especially of feet or hands reddening of skin, especially around ears swelling of eyes, face, or inside of nose unusual tiredness or weakness (sudden and severe) Severity: Moderate If any of the following side effects occur while taking rubella virus vaccine, check with your doctor or nurse as soon as possible: Less common: Pain or tenderness of eyes Rare Bruising or purple spots on skin confusion convulsions (seizures) headache (severe or continuing) pain, numbness, or tingling of hands, arms, legs, or feet stiff neck unusual irritability vomiting Minor Side Effects Some rubella virus vaccine side effects may not need any medical attention. As your body gets used to the medicine these side effects may disappear. Your health care professional may be able to help you prevent or reduce these side effects, but do check with them if any of the following side effects continue, or if you are concerned about them: More common: Burning or stinging at place of injection skin rash swelling of glands in neck Less common: Aches or pain in joints headache (mild), sore throat, runny nose, or fever itching, swelling, redness, tenderness, or hard lump at place of injection nausea vague feeling of bodily discomfort The above side effects (especially aches or pain in joints) are more likely to occur in adults, particularly women.
