Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hello,
I can understand your concern for boil on scalp. I can make out the possibility of repeated infection of the hair root by bacteria.

In your kind of cases I prefer to go for culture and sensitivity of the pus. After the exact sensitivity reports I give a course of oral antibiotics such as cefixime or amoxicillin or ciprofloxacin. For the pain sensation if any I suggest my patients to take paracetamol or diclofenac for once or twice daily.

Till that time I suggest you to not to pinch, pop or scratch the area. Also do not attempt any home remedies as can leas to further aggravation of the problem.

For the baldness : it can be due to androgenic alopecia or commonly known as male pattern baldness due hormonal influence.

For the above you can meet a dermatologist also for best possible diagnosis & treatment.

Take care.
