Living with scalp folliculitis takes some time. It has taken me hundreds of dollars and many remedies to finally allow my hair to grow and to accept this condition upon my scalp. I have favorite times during a day to scratch my head. I wear a hat or ball cap at other times and sometimes I wear nothing at all and just allow my head to be free. It has been five years since the onset and the stuff has covered my whole head more than once. For a long time I shaved my head bald. Since this past New Year 2016 I haven't cut my hair at all and it is growing longer and longer. The less I focus upon the folliculitis the less it bothers me. I have given up on the expensive shampoos, the rinses, the medicines, the creams and just wash my hair regularly and used a cream rinse. That's it.
I spent years researching, but there really is nothing to be found. I had three biospies, nothing but folliculitis and one actenic keratosis. What causes it, unknown. Source, unknown. How long does it last, unknown. There has been no testing or studies to my knowledge on the subject.
It is just something to ACCEPT and LIVE on as happily as possible. Just keep the hair watched and wear a hat to keep your hand from touching it often. That's all.
Hay, if you know more than this, please drop me a note. I would love to know more.
Love you,
Vimala
