What Could It Be If Having Sores On Scalp That Turn Into Yellow And Are Oil Filled?
I have sores on my scalp that turn into yellow oily filled sores. Been to 3 derm MDs. Tested and not fungal, bacterial or staph. Been treated with ketazonale shampoo, olux foam,antibiotics, vinegar & apple cider rinses, and kenalog spray. Also on my face. Hair has become oily & smelly with this. Also, my hairline is mushy and white flakes. No one has been able to help. Thank- you.
