How do I cure these bumps/pustules on my scalp?

[eggsbenny]

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!

Are you doing anything like making sure to clean the hairbrushes and things like that?  It's important they be cleaned after every use.  Some people also try to use a mix of vinegar and water.  Other than those two suggestions- keep in contact with your doctor and make sure they know that the symptoms keep returning.
