Hello,
Thanks for the query.
Klebsiella is a bacteria and causes scalp infections.
Treatment is with antibiotics,
But the choice of antibiotics should be based on culture and sensitivity tests.
Use of improper antibiotic can lead to resistance and failure of therapy.
Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
