I've been suffering from folliculitis for four years now...

[Babig119]

I first noticed bumps on my scalp around four years ago..I didn't really think much of it until I started noticing it along my side burns, behind my ears and hairline. September 2015 I finally went to my dermatologist and he tries convincing me it was just acne but I tried explaining to him it wasn't behaving as ance usually behaves. They would come and go in flare ups, scab over and then usually disappear. The flare ups came and went around every two weeks. So he prescribed me to an oral antibiotic for a month. It was a miracle. Everything was gone. That was until I ran out of antibiotics. It came back just as quickly as it went away. So he prescribes me again another antibiotic. Same result. I stopped going as I knew he would just try and fix the symptoms not the cause. Since then I've been to three different dermatologist and they all have done the same thing. My last dermatologist did a culture from one on my scalp and it came back as dermatitis folliculitis. She also tried convincing me before that it was just acne. I had to convince her to give me a culture. The one I have now gave me doxycycline for 30 days and some shampoo and topicals. He also injected steroids or something in the areas he saw flareups. I saw no improvement from that. Only from the antibiotics. I am now out of the medicine and it's all coming back again. I'm desperate for a cure. I've run out of options. I spent hundreds of dollars on home remedies, asking for advice online. I don't know what to do anymore. It's ruining my life.
