Pimple Like Crests On Scalp, Itching, Fluid Oozing. What Could Be This?
My scalp is having kind of pimple like crests which oozes out clear fluid n gets solid.
It itches a lot after a day of shampooing n the flakes come out during itching. It again oozes out clear fluid n so on.. the flakes come out during itchin or shampooing??
I consulted a dermatologist n was prescrbed with this:
1st visit:
Ocona CT shampoo - 15 days.
Result: Not much improvement & crests keep coming at different locations if one is cured.
2nd visit:
Continue Shampoo
Apply Desowen Lotion on the crests.
Result: No improvement
3rd visit i dint continue..
Dont know what to do????

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
The condition can be seborrheic dermatitis or psoriasis.
proper diagnosis is needed as the treatment differs in both condition.
A visit to dermatologist will allow proper diagnosis and treatment.
Till the time you can use Salisia KT shampoo and diprovate lotion over scalp.
Hope this helps.
