What Causes Watery And Bleeding Scabs On The Scalp, Limbs And Back?
I have a skin condition on my scalp arms back and legs. Scalp annoys me that I pick the scabs that are watery and bleed. I want to get rid of them from my head. I am a breast cancer survivor, had total hysterectomy. blood work is all good now. No dermatologist helped me. One allergist said I have yeast and should avoid sugar and yeast. Please help me

Hi,
After correction of breast cancer and having a hysterectomy, your body may have low Immunity. Because chemotherapy and radiotherapy lead to decrease in immunity level. Most common skin infection occurs during low Immunity. For scalp yeast and fungal infection, try clotrimazole containing shampoo for hair wash. Take tablet fluconazole orally. Take a protein-rich diet.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
