The inflammatory disease of a hair follicle with its attached sebaceous gland is often simply called folliculitis.

Folliculitis is a common skin condition in which hair follicles become inflamed. It is usually caused by a bacterial or fungal infection. At first, it may look like small red bumps or white-headed pimples around hair follicles — the tiny pockets from which each hair grows. The infection can spread and turn into non-healing, crusty sores.
