What could be causing pimples on the scalp, and how to prevent them from occurring?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and can understand your concern.

This seems to be recurrent bacterial folliculitis. It can happen to anyone with the Staphylococcus aureus bacteria carrier stage, in which bacteria normally reside on the skin and can lead to repeated infections. The treatment may last a couple of weeks, but the recurrence can occur in two to three months.

I would suggest the following medications.

1. Tablet Bicef (Cefadroxil) 500 mg twice daily for one week after meals.

2. Capsule Rcin (Rifampicin) 600 mg once daily before breakfast. The urine color will be red with Rifampicin, which is normal.

3. Cream T Bact (Mupirocin) is to be applied twice daily on these lesions and under the nail, nasal vestibular space (anterior part of the nasal cavity where the bacteria usually reside), behind the ear, and nasolabial space for a week.

However, please consult a physician, discuss with them and start taking the medications with their consent.

Also, get your blood sugar tested.

Hope this helps.

Thank you and take care.

You can take the tablet Rcin (Rifampicin) for two weeks. However, please consult a physician, discuss with them and start taking the medications with their consent. Also, you can use Betadine-AD (Povidone-iodine 4 %) shampoo. If it is unavailable, then you can use ketoconazole shampoo.

Hope this helps.

Thank you and take care.
