Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I developed a few cysts on my scalp a few days ago. The center one is a little large in size, surrounded by small ones. They are very painful and sore.
Please help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I went through your query and understood your concern.
The cyst seems to be a hair follicle infection, and it looks hemorrhagic. So, I suggest you follow the instructions mentioned below,
1) Take a capsule of Amoxicillin (Penicillin antibiotic) 500 milligrams twice daily for seven days.
2) Take a tablet of Paracetamol (analgesic) 400 milligrams twice daily.
3) Apply Fusidic acid (antibiotic) cream twice daily for seven days.
Kindly consult a specialist, talk with them, and take medicines with their consent.
I hope this has helped you.
Thanks and regards.
