Medical updates for treatment of folliculitis decalvans

Has anyone out there had success or know of the success rate with using this Terrasil product. I've suffered from chronic folliculits decalvans now for 15 or more years. Its spreading and ive had no cure. Ive had several consultations with various dermos all diagnosing Bacterial Staph present with the Folliculitis. Its on the crown of my scalp. Has several scarred areas now and tufts of hair that eventually pull out with the dried crusty skin. Persistent postules that develop and puss, this is a very embarrasing situation. Ive had numerous courses of antibiotics all of which have some effect initially, then a resistence that has no effect. I've suffered a severe case of psuedo membranous colitis which took a good 12 months to cure as a result of so many cocktails of antibiotics. Have had several treatments of YAG laser surgery, and laser ablation. All that did was cause a heap of pain and long painful repair of the area. I'm very desperate for a better way to manage this. Any advice would be grateful.
