Folliculitis can look similar to acne but folliculitis is a bacterial infection of hair follicles caused by an external source of bacteria; acne is also a bacterial infection but it is caused by a natural bacteria (P.acnes) that is always present on healthy skin. P.acnes only causes trouble when pores in the skin become blocked, causing the P.acnes bacteria to build up.
