what is the best treatment for scalp sores

[gaga2128]

Thank you for trying to help. I have seen several dermatologists and they all say the same thing "Stop touching your scalp and allow sores to heal" I have used Luxiq and Clindamycin for the past few years without any relief. The clindamycin helps with comfort for 3 to 4 hrs but has not solved the problem. This has had a severe impact on emotional and physical well being. I have very little hair left and have throbing pain most of the time which does not allow for good night sleep. I do have a condition called MGUS Monocolonal Gammopathy of Unknown Significance which I have been told contributes to the problem but, no solutions as to what to do about it. Any suggestions you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much.

Hi there,
The common causes of scalp sores are dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis, acne and eczema. Since scalp sores are caused by numerous conditions it is difficult to determine the correct treatment without a complete clinical examination. Low Levels of Zinc in the scalp, clogged and bacteria filled hair follicles, very low circulation levels, too high pH level in the delicate scalp skin are few predisposing factors for scalp sores. Consult a dermatologist and start treatment accordingly. I hope it helps.
Take care and regards!
