Non Itchy dandruff and pimples all over body

hi,
I've been suffering from this problem for the past 10 years and nothing seems to work. So I have sort of non itchy dandruff like powder on my scalp and sometimes over my face and body. Also I've got pimples all over my body. It has puss that hardens to sort of white solid by weeks.

Yeah that helps I will get back to you soon, but that sounds kind of weird... Is this curable or I just have to take medicine the whole life...Also I would like to share this info...
Recently one of the many Docs who teated me was successful enough to reduce this to a considerable level...but I had to terminate the treatment since the Doc himself was hospitalized...drastic...Here is what he prescribed..

Azicare
Ontrek
Apgel
and AFK lotion

Just share your views and opinion... it helps a lot.....cause I got a bad feeling about the Docs here...
hope it helps

Hello,
It looks like seborrheic dermatitis and folliculitis skin. It is usually caused by overgrowth of Malassezia furfur. This skin disease commonly affects adolescents and young adults, especially in warm and humid climates and is aggravated by sweating and humidity.

Topical antifungals and mild steroids are the usual treatment and combination of the two can be used to treat stubborn patches. Oral antifungal drugs and immunomodulators such as tacrolimus and pimecrolimus are used in very severe cases. Best would be to consult a dermatologist and get biopsy skin done to confirm the diagnosis.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing
