Puffed Up Itchy Spots On Scalp, Headaches, Swelling. Taken Benadryl. On Triple Antibiotic Ointment. Are They Ringworms?
I have had two or three puffy itchy spots on my scalp. My granddaughter had wring worm last month at my house. I thought at first they were spider bites but after a week they seemed to get worse so I put anti itch cream on them that just made them sting and then I took Benadryl that seemed to help with the swelling that seemed to be giving me a headache. But the itching spots are still there. I have been putting triple antibiotic ointment on them which seems to be making them feel better. I have got a couple of scabs of of them. Thanks, Diane
Hi, From history this might be due to fungal infection of scalp. Apply anti-fungal cream. Take oral anti-fungal tablet like Flucanozole. If there is bacterial infection along with fungal, go for antibiotic medicine after consulting your doctor. Do head wash regularly. Ok and take care.
