Detailed Answer:
Hi,

It seems like some infection. Can you send a few pictures of the affected region? It will help me analyzing the condition.

If the problem involves scalp and multiple other areas, the best way to deal with it is by using oral antibiotics. You should contact a local doctor who can prescribe oral antibiotics. You will also need a blood sugar test.

Hope it helped. Let me know if you need clarifications.

Brief Answer:
Oral antibiotics are better choice...

Detailed Answer:
I assume the boils on the scalp are puss filled.

Topical creams and medications do not easily cover the entire affected areas. Therefore oral medications are necessary. As mentioned earlier in my opinion you will benefit better with oral antibiotics. Consult a doctor nearby for a prescription.

Hope this helped. Let me know if you need any clarifications.
