Acne sort of thing on my scalp
I have been suffering from this acne sort of things on my scalp that are red in colour and sometimes get filled with pus and pain when burst out. I have taken doxycycline for quite long but it didn't work. As soon as I stopped the medication they would reappear.
Also, I was moved to other medication which involved isotretinoin but it also didn't help much.
Can you please provide me a permanent resolution for the same as it is taking a toll on my sleep now.
History: I have had acne on my face and back but now it is totally under control and I don't take any medication for that.
