How To Heal Painful Sores Or Lesions On Head?
My husband has an issue with sores or lesions on his head. It itches and burns severely. The hair follicles seem to get infected and cause sores. He has tried all kinds of ointments and topical rinses and shampoo. He is on Minoxidil for blood pressure. He is wondering what causes the problem and needs some relief. He sweats easily, and that causes his head to burn. Once he gets up in the morning, it begins to hurt and burn. Any suggestions?

Hello.
Thanks for the query.
Probably he has developed folliculitis of scalp.
I treat such cases with a mild steroid based shampoo.
Flucinolone based shampoo can be used twice a week.
It is safe and effective and usually available over the counter.
He can try this.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.
