You have to try harder to figure out what your triggers are.

It could be some food your eat, several foods or something in your environment.

You react to something, and the only way to find out what it is, is elimination process.

Dietary triggers can be easily identified by elimination diet.
Environmental triggers can be identified by total elimination.

Doesn't seem to be classic folliculitis symptoms to my knowledge.

My only advice, get off the doxycycline if it doesn't clear you up within 2 weeks, and look for a natural remedy.

Maybe try keeping the area hair free, and cleaning twice a day with isopropyl wipes to start with.

Then take it from there.

Good luck.

I've had "folliculitis" on my scalp for over a year now, and the dermatologists are just spinning their wheels, in my opinion. I tried Antibiotics (one of them gave me a severe reaction), topical steroids, topical Antibiotic cream, oil of oregano (stinky), coconut oil, apple cider vinegar...etc. I finally discovered that keeping my scalp as bacteria-free as possible helped control it. I used Hibiclens 2x/day and followed with a dandruff-control shampoo. I then used the clindamycin cream on top of that. I changed my pillow case every night and my towels almost as frequently. But then I started to wonder - why couldn't my scalp tolerate a small amount of bacteria, when it's supposed to occur naturally? So I started investigating alternatives to improve my immune system. The most effective by far is topical magnesium. I just started by taking Epsom Salt baths every night for a week and saw a huge improvement (also it's really relaxing). Then I got a topical "magnesium oil" and I spray that on my scalp in the morning and evening (and then rinse). I see a huge difference - my scalp is way less itchy and the hair isn't falling out like it was. I still apply the clindamycin cream to any new bumps that appear, but the all-over bacteria war is over (and it's a relief, it was exhausting!). Good luck to you - try the Epsom Salts as a low-cost way to try it out!
