Suggest Treatment For Crusty Circles On My Scalp.
Hi Doctor, I have hard crusty circles on my scalp. In the below answered question I seem to need antibiotics. My health insurance is a mess. I was with Medi-Cal then they discontinued my insurance, and now working towards putting me back on Medi-Cal. Could you give me a prescription to fill at Walgreens or CVS. I live in California
