Hello, You are suffering from folliculitis of the scalp and its become chronic. You should keep scalp clean. Gently wash the infected skin twice a day with antibacterial soap or ketoconazole shampoo. This shampoo will cleanse the scalp and follicles to make way for healthy hair regrowth and to decrease the chances of fungal infections. Always use a clean washcloth or towel each time after shampoo. Do not share your towels or washcloths. Wash your clothes, towel, washcloth in hot water frequently.
