Suggest Treatment For Yellow Pustules On Head After Shaving
hi i got my head shaved last week and have had a sudden outbreak of spots on the back of my head and my head is very sore and has yellow puss in the spots but nothing seems to work healing them, is there any home remedies that will help or will i have to seek medical advice?
Hi, From history it seems that there might be having secondary bacterial infection following shaving producing folliculitis. You might require one course of antibiotic medicine like Amoxicilin for 5 days. Wash your head with antiseptic lotion like betadine and do proper cleaning. Ok and take care.
