Perifolliculitis is characterised by small, very itchy pustules within the scalp, often most troublesome on the frontal hairline. The scalp should be washed with a mild normal shampoo as often as desired. Antidandruff shampoos containing antifungal agents such as ketoconazole or ciclopirox are sometimes helpful. Apart from that you need topical and oral antibiotics, antihistamines, oral steroids and topical tretinoin.

I am putting off going to the doctor because I dont have the money and I am embarrassed. Just wondering if you have any suggestions or at home treatment I could do. Thank you in advance!
For head treatment, I will use Stieprox shampoo with Ciclopirox Olamine 1.5% w/w which relieves my scalps itching & scaling issue.. a bit expensive but it works for me :)
I think I will continue using this tablets until I get examined by derma specialist.
By the way, is there is any side effects of using this medicine continuously?
Thank you in advanced.
When not using the Nizoral shampoo, use Neutrogena shampoo like this, or the green color if your scalp is oily:

I find this at CVS drug stores usually. Get the conditioner too if you need conditioner, and only use it on the ends - keep all conditioner off your scalp. Neutrogena has no gluten and is very calming to inflamed scalps.

Hello,

Anyways these last 6 months I have really been balding. I also have lots of dandruff. I usually shampoo twice a week and condition 3 times a week. I also wear a showercap on some days as too not wet my hair as I heard that is good for clearing the dandruff. Nothing has worked. I have used many different anti-dandruff shampoo with no luck. My scalp is itchy and feels EXTREMELY dry but at the same time if I run fingers through my hair it feels oily.
About two years ago I switched to a shampoo without SLS and the eczema disappeared (to the touch) within days (and never returned). Within the last few months I have been getting a rash, itchy, with bumps that feel a bit like acne to the touch, on my scalp. I have tried many shampoos, all of which provoked the same reaction after more than one use.

my first treatment was Doxycycline [3 months 100 mg every other day] it helped me instantly and cleared 100% my scalp. But right after I finished taking doxycycline problem came back in full force.
Second treatment was low dose isotretinoin - 4 months on 10mg and 4 months on 20mg [8 months in total]. Isotretinoin cleared my scalp 100% just after one week. I was obviously very happy, because during 8 months of my thereapy I didn't had a single pimple on my scalp.

I have used T-gel of various strengths, tea tree shampoos, shampooing twice, shampoo and conditioner, etc.. From what I understand is that I should shower more because of my oily skin and hair, but if I do that the bumps get worse and so does the dryness of my scalp.
I shower EVERY morning, so it is not a hygiene issue. I get the occasional pimple on my face due to my oily skin, but I have never had sever acne.
Prior the the potential exposure, I was prescribed a topical nail fungus medication (ClearNails Pro) that is fat soluble and claims to penetrate to the nail bed. This medication contains a drug called ciclopirox which was recently discovered to kill hiv infected cells in vitro. The percentage of ciclopirox is 6 percent.
1. Since my fungal medication is fat soluble and contains ciclopirox, will it enter the blood stream in enough concentration to affect the accuracy of an hiv antibody test?
