Anyone else just given up and accepted their fate
Instead of my scalp folliculitis improving with age, with consultation, with antibacterial solutions and different attempts to resolve it once-and-for all, mine has gotten worse over the years.
I've tried several things; which surprises friends and family, and it gets so annoying when they suggest "so go see a doctor to resolve it". Oh, thanks I never thought of that!
I shave my head with a trimmer (quite close to the scalp but not full 0 shave or use a razor), but have taken periods of not shaving at all. Still get the bumps.
Most recently I thought I found the root cause - CSP (compulsive skin picking). However, even with strict control and two weeks of no CSP, still it doesn't improve.
The red bumps are one thing, but sometimes I get a puss filled one and after it pops it turns into a scab (and I've picked at it). Photo is one healing now.
I'm going to try topical antibacterial again, but at this rate I just can't deal with the embarrassment of it anymore and I have lost hope of anything improving. There are certain conditions (like the common cold and folliculitis) that i think will never have cures.
