What Causes Boils On Temple?
Hi Dr Samuel, I have acne like boils on my temple, and some on forehead, I ve seen my dermatologist, and he did a biopsy, and told me my forehead and temple are inflamed. He prescribed for me clindamycin gel cream to put on my temple and forehead once at bedtime, and a shampoo called Ketoconazole use once daily. my dermatologist said to me it will take a while before it go s away. The boils went away, but came back after two weeks. I still have some boils on my temple. What do you think?
