Scalp boil
Recently I have boils on my scalp along with dandruff. What could be the cause? How can it be treated? I have relocated from a hill station to Mumbai now. Can the hot weather have anything to do with the problem I face?

Welcome to the Hot humid Mumbai summer. You might be having folliculitis. Do not use any oil or serum on scalp. Dont itch or scratch the scalp. It will worsen if not treated properly. Dr. Jolly Shah DNB Skin Mumbai.
