Heat Boils On The Scalp. Immediate Medication ?

Hi, have never had boils on head.... now I have been having some heat boils on the scalp and am scared.. may be due to heat as my body is a heat body. will it go by itself as it does not hamper with my daily activities but sometimes I get irritated as this is the first time I am having boils on the scalp and when I touch it I feel like that area is swollen....

hello,
You might be probably having folliculitis.I would recommend you to take T.Azithral250mg twice daily for 5-7days along withT.Signoflam and T.Zinetac150mg twice daily before food for 5 days with topical T.Bact cream twice daily for 5-7 days.Since you have recurring folliculitis do check your blood glucose levels and report to me.

hi,welcome to HCM,
looks like you are having a sebacious gland infection,its nothing related to heat,if some of the gland duct gets obstructed and infected,it comes a boil,just take some simple ampicillin 500mg and antiinflammatory like chymeral forte daily twice after food for 5 days, before that hope you are not allergic to penicillin.
