This sort happened last year also in May and I had used ketoconazole which had caused my strong hairs fall ; I had never experienced hair fall in my life but since I used ketoconazole my hair were never normal ; This problem had subsided when I had got my complete head shaved .. So please help me get the solution ...

Hi.. many boils on scalp means you have scalp folliculitis. It is hair follicle infection on the scalp.. There are many reasons to get it. Sometimes it becomes recurrent then causes a lot headache. Usually it can treated within 15 days
Ketoconazole shampoo will enhance your hair growth according to medical studies. May you have just corelated shampooing with hairloss. It may just a co incidental finding
Get diagnosed the reason behind your hair loss. Then proceed further
