I have scalp folliculitis and a lot of if ha s cleared but still facing hard small nodules and discoloration. Have used for discoloration fineacia, allure and Sylmarin cream. It s still a little swollen and still have a few hard nodules. ANY suggestions?
I can understand your concern for swelling of scalp due to folliculitis. I can recognize from your query that you have these swelling getting reduced now and presently you feel only the part of bit hardness over the scalp. In your kind of cases I suggest you to wash the area regularly and maintain a good hygiene of the scalp. An antifungal shampoo such as ketoconazole shampoo can be used to wash the scalp regularly. A cream containing mild steroid such as cortisone with mupirocin can be applied for few days to reduce the swelling. Do not apply any hair oil or any creamy stuff over the scalp as it causes more aggravation of the problem. You can take further guidance from your treating dermatologist. Take care.
