Hi, I reviewed your question. Are you Afro-american, another dark-skinned race? These people tend more to get keloid scars after an injury, but it also happens in other races. A keloid scar (or hypertrophic scar) is a lump developing in the scar that is harmless but cosmetic unappealing. A keloid scar can contain nerve tissue and hurt, especially when touched or rubbed by clothing. Alternatively it can be a neurinoma, which is a benign lump of nerve tissue, which can be very painful. If the lump is still growing I would suggest having it looked at by a physician. If it is a keloid scar, any more injuries ( like a biopsy or excision) would make it worse and more than likely result in a bigger scar if not treated right away. I had good results treating keloid scars with application of silicon sheets for longer periods of time (weeks and months) as well as injections of the scar with glucocorticoids (cortisone).I have carefully reviewed your question. I understand that recurrent abscesses on any part of the body, but especially in visible areas, are very distressing! In my practice, I have seen many cases like yours. To be honest, they are not easy to treat and require a comprehensive approach.It would be important to understand more about you: Are those bumps/abscesses only on your scalp or also on other areas of your body (for example face, neck, armpits, groins, perianal)? How old are you, what other diseases do you have and what medications are you on? I used to treat my patients with recurrent abscesses with excellent results by injections of their own blood treated with a homeopathic remedy. It consists of taking about 5 ml of blood from your vein and mixing it with an appropriate homeopathic medicine (I used traumeel a lot). Then I injected the blood in the muscle in the buttock area. (It even works without any added medicines). The theory is here that the antigens stemming from the bacteria in your skin get presented better to your immune system that way so it can deal with it for good.I recommended that my patients wash the affected areas ONLY with dilute apple cider vinegar (the organic brand, with the mother) as well as other probiotics of choice (either from capsules or powder suspended in water, diluted sauerkraut juice or probiotic yogurt poultices). I do not recommend using soap in the affected areas. Wash your hair as little as possible and follow up with one of the solutions mentioned above. Diet plays a big role, too. •  Eat no sugar, white flour, pastries and avoid processed foods as little as possible. •  Eat: vegetables, especially green leafy, but vegetables of all rainbow colors are necessary to nourish our body. Eat organic if possible. • In moderation: Fruit Protein (That is meat), if possible organic. •  Avoid industrial seed oils (vegetable oil, corn oil, canola oil) and replace with non-inflammatory fats (e.g. avocado oil, coconut oil). I advised my patients to take anti-inflammatory supplements (Fish oil, Vitamin D, Magnesium, Curcumin) as well as a good Multi-Vitamin. Since you were probably treated many times with internal antibiotics, it is important to regularly use a good probiotic supplement. If you have stomach troubles, additional testing to find out what gut flora is out of order can be done (for example a Comprehensive Stool test or organic acid test to see if there are signs of parasite, pathogenic yeasts (like Candida albicans) or bacteria overgrowth (that is Clostridia)) and then treat it specifically with targeted therapies (whether botanical or pharmaceutical). Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help and to explain further. Regards, Dr. Christine Sauer
