Skin/scalp issues...I'm SO fed up

I'm 52. Last period was in January so I'm almost post menopausal.
I've been lucky with my skin over the years...no spots really, no exzema or anything like that.
For the past year I've had scalp folliculitis. It's so horrible. I've had 2 x lots oral abx for 5 x days each time, steroid lotion, 4 x different specialist shampoos, head and shoulders, nizoral, glycolic acid scrubs...you name it.
I've also now got skin tags, SKs and cherry angiomas on my neck, chest and trunk.
I got several skin tags and an SK on my face frozen off by a Dermatologist last week and she's said I need 3 x months of abx for the folliculitis.
Has anyone else had similar?
Did the abx fix it?
I'm very fed up...its SO unsightly and the tags on my neck have reacted to the liquid nitrogen so look awful 😖
Any advice?
Thanks !
