I am suffering from scalp folliculitis for the last almost 5-6 years. Have consulted many Dermatologist in vain. My itching is severe and recurrent boils appears. Is there a permanent cure for this problem and what medicine should I take. This problem has resulted in lot of hair fall. Thanks.

Use a medicated shampoo containing ketoconazole and coal tar atleast twice a week. Even if the itching decreases you should continue using the shampoo atleast once every 15 days so that it doesnot recur. Once the folliculitis decreases the hair fall will also decrease.
