Hi,
Based on the history given, you may have a fungal infection involving your scalp.
It would be best for you to use an oral antifungal medication if this is confirmed by a visit to your doctor.
With scalp infections, the antifungal has to be taken for at least 2 weeks in most persons.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
