[|Human|] I have staph on my scalp. Have had for about 15 years now. Tried most things including hibiscrub, coal tar, no perfume shampoos and nothing has moved it. Its got better since I went to the dermotologist about 18 months ago as I was prescribed 1% dalacin T-Scalp location and Dermovate (for the itchyness). This controls it better but I still have redness and boils. Any suggestions?
[|AI|]  Hi, Thanks for posting in Chat Doctor. I understand your concern. What problems your son is having could be due to seborrhea dermatitis of scalp. Kindly do the following to overcome it. 1. Use alternate days shampoo containing coal tar or salicylic acid. 2. Use shampoo containing Ketoconazole twice a week. 3. Use shampoo containing Selenium and Zinc once a week. 4. Protect from direct sunlight by wearing a clean cap or using umbrella. 5. To control itching, he can take Tablet. Levocetrizine once a day. 6. Apply Clindamycin cream only on the areas you have boils every day during bedtime. The lesions should subside gradually in a month time. Hope the information provided would be helpful. All the best.
