hi there.
1. your concern is chronic folliculits.
2. you can try retino ac 0.04% cream once daily bed on the affected areas of the scalp, leave it overnight.
3. treat them as only acne and go ahead.
4. avoid dairy products bed time and avoid hair oil massaging after head bath.
5. wash your scalp with sebamed anti dandruff shampoo, use it weekly twice with soft water.
this will help you.
