Hello dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. I have read your query and understood your concern. For recurring scalp infection, I usually advise my patients to take short course of oral antibiotics during the acute episode and regularly use antiseptic shampoo like Betadine AD shampoo for scalp wash alternate day at least till the infection is gone. Afterwards use it every 2 weekly and later on monthly basis. Get your blood sugar levels tested. As per details, this is my best advise for you. You may discuss this with your doctor. I am sure he/she will agree with my opinion. Stay healthy.
