Will exercising make my folliculitis worse?

I’m doing what nearly everyone does as their New Year’s resolution and starting to be more active and go to the gym for my physical and mental well-being.

Will exercise cause my folliculitis to worsen since there will obviously be sweat involved? Do I need to worry about it spreading onto the machines even though I was told it wasn’t contagious? If I need to put off working out until I find a cure for my folliculitis, I’d rather do that than risk making it worse.

Does anyone have any experience with this or tips?
