Hi,
Boils on the scalp are due to infection of the hair follicles, called folliculitis.
In most cases of folliculitis, the damaged follicles are then infected with the bacteria Staphylococcus (staph).

Application of  antiseptic ointment is adequate for most cases.
Antibiotics such as mupirocin or neomycin containing ointment can also be applied on the affected areas.

Nizoral shampoo cantaining Ketaconazole is the most effective anti-fungal treatment for dandruff. You can wash your scalp every alternate day or everyday( when the flaking is intense) to reduce the condition but it will recur.
