Suggest Natural Remedy For Recurring Scalp Folliculitis
Thank you for trying to help me! I have severe scalp folliculitis and do not want to use any more antibiotics, which seems to be the only help I can find. My cause may be sweating of the scalp on my pillow. If I use antibiotics it disappears for a short time and then reappears. Michael

Hello,
You have been using antibiotics so often and this may have caused you to have resistant infection. You should do a culture of the secretions of the scalp. Take antibiotic according to antibiograme.
