Hi. Greetings. You have scalp folliculitis. This is commonly fungal but could be bacterial. Please see a dermatologist near you Di that he could prescribe the necessary medicated shampoos and tablets to you. You'll also need anti fungal maintenance shampoo. Hope this helps. Warm regards. Dr Govind S Mittal.
