What are these on my head? Can't get rid of them

[DonaldLovesDoritos]

They won't go. Lots of GP's have given me different ointments and shampoos, different creams, steroid creams etc

Nothing works.

I don't have dandruff. I don't have any itching etc.

I'm sick to the death of them as I now have two areas in my head where there is a bald patch the size of a 5p

They're sore when brushing. I don't scratch or pick, yet I'll get new ones that appear or they'll just randomly pop up as open wounds!

I've even tried being careful about which shampoos I use

I'm so fed up

My mum used to get this - she switched to coaltar shampoo. After a couple of months of using it and NOTHING else on her hair, it did clear up.

Looks like psoriasis. T-Gel shampoo should help. Swimming in the sea too.

Folliculitis? Just a guess.

On an aside, I know you don't have dandruff but have you tried Head and Shoulders?

I wondered if it could be eczema?
I get it on my scalp, not as many spots as you tho. Generally one, occasionally two.

Thank you TheVice, I'll try it

Head and shoulders makes me bleed

I thought psoriasis was flaky etc, not little holes/wounds? They never seem to heal and are never really turning into a scab

I think it looks like folliculitis too

Also worth mentioning I've had it since the age of 8

What does your Dr say?

Dr says he isn't sure, dermatologist said eczema but nothing is helping

I think Vosene is also coal tar shampoo

Try MooGoo, I had awful scalp problems which I put down to psoriasis but was never sure, MooGoo shampoo and scalp cream have really helped.

I was going to say moogoo scalp cream and shampoo as well. I hope you get sorted.
