Hi. I?m a 24 year old female. I?m getting white pustules all over my head since past two years. I?ve been on linox 600 mg for 7 days twice a day. It dries up the pustules but they return back in 15 days. I?ve tried other antibiotics too but they return back in 15 days. I?ve tried homeopathic medication as well but no relief. Whenever I?m about to get a pustule my scalp first swells. Then becomes reddish and then it turns into a white pustules which is very itchy and pains when touched. When they dry up they turn into a crusty thing which keeps sticking to my scalp unless I gently peel it off. Kindly help me with my situation as it?s getting worse day by day.

You should do the following; 1) get a pus culture done 2) I would advice a scalp biopsy including a pustule in it 3) get a blood screen for usual investigations.
