Scalp Acne
How can i get rid of persistent acne breakouts on my scalp? I have always been prone to acne on my face because of oily skin but two or three months back i started getting acne on my scalp. I have been prescribed antihistamines for the itch but the effect is short lived. Antifungals haven't helped as well. Will antibiotics help? Please suggest dosage and names.
