In the past 1-2 years, I have developed itchy, red bumps all over my scalp. Some look like red bumps, some are pustules.
I've been to the doctor 3 times for it, and they have told me that I have folliculitis of the scalp. One time I was prescribed mupirocin ointment, and another I was prescriped a 10-day cycle of cephalexin. Both treatments were successful in getting rid of the bumps, but they quickly returned once the treatment was finished. The third time I was prescribed a 4-week cycle of doxycycline, which initially got rid of the bumps, but towards the last 1-1.5 weeks, the bumps slowly appeared.
Now that I'm done the antibiotics, the pustules are back, and it seems like they're worse than ever. I'm becoming very desperate for a more curable approach to the problem as it is very itchy, unappealing and embarrassing. Help!
