hello Doctor iam a man, 25 years old, and weight of about 67KgI have Scabs on head, when i touches it to remove the dry skin over it, it releases watery fluids and after sometime it dries and look like a wound. its for a long time now about one year. i tried to use spirit and gentrisone tubes without success.
Hello. Thanks for writing to us at Chat Doctor The condition affecting the scalp is most likely seborrhea dermatitis, which is an inflammatory condition associated with yellowish, greasy scaling and crusting. The scale/crusts is usually adherent to skin and forceful removal would expose raw inflamed skin hence leading to oozing, which again Chat Doctor. If I was the treating doctor I would have asked you to use an OTC antifungal shampoo, daily or every alternate days, for scalp involvement. Mizoram is 2% ketoconazole and would be suitable. It is available OTC. You may also use a 5% certified based shampoo/scalp wash, once daily. Certified is antiseptic as well as antiseborrheic/degreasing agent and therefore would help to remove sticky discharge and as well as loosen up the crusts. It is also available OTC. Regards
