Q: I am a 31 years old female who is suffering from boils on the scalp (sometimes pus filled). They are very painful. I am also having dandruff. How can boils on my scalp be managed?
A:Recurrent infection over the scalp can be becasue:
- The infection was not eradicated in the first place.
- There is a source from which you are getting reinfected.
- You have some weakness in the defence mechanism or have other comorbid conditions.
