What Causes Puss Filled Bumps ?
What is causing me to keep bumps with puss all over the back of my head? Different shampoos seem to make it more irritating than others. I have tried all kinds of things and have been to two skin doctors and nothing works, but the nail fungus pill medicine?

Hi,
From history it seems that there might be having scalp infection giving this problem.This can be folliculitis, yeast infection, sebohrric dermatitis, dandruff.
Consult dermatologist and discuss about this.
After finding the cause go for treatment accordingly.
If there is fungal infection in nail, this can be yeast infection in the scalp.
Go for one oral course of anti-fungal medicine like Flucanozole 150 mg once in a week for 4 weeks.
Take head bath daily with plane warm water.
Avoid using shampoos, conditioners.
Ok and take care.
