Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I read your query and here is my advice.
I think you are having scalp acne. You may need to use antibiotic and corticosteroid ointment on your scalp such gentamicin and betamethazone ointment.
Also you may need oral antibiotics such tetracycline.
Also using tretinoin orally may help.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Thanks.
