I'm really struggling with this folliculitis problem on my scalp that's been going on for almost 4 years. It all started with these mild bumps, and I've been through so many dermatologists and tried all kinds of antibiotics. They work, but only as long as I'm taking them. The moment I stop, the blisters and pus come back in just a few weeks. Recently, I tried multivitamin injections to boost my immune system and it helped for a couple of months, but now the blisters are back and they're super painful. I even had a pus culture test done, but it came back negative for bacteria. I'm honestly at a loss on what to do now since the doctors say they've tried everything. Any advice on what steps to take next would be really helpful. I'm open to more tests if needed.
Since you have already tried different antibiotics and Betadine AD shampoo without long-term success, and the pus culture came back negative for bacterial growth, it may be worth considering other treatment options. One possible approach could be to try a combination therapy of oral antibiotics along with a topical antibiotic ointment.

I recently discovered a bumpnode on my left breast just below the nipple. It was last Tuesday evening. The next day, I noticed a small dot-sized white pus mouth that gradually grew to 45 mm in diameter and ended up breaking on its own during the night on Friday while I was sleeping. Since then, I've been taking Augmentin 625 and applying Sumag twice a day. I'm kinda worried about what's going on and wondering if there's anything else I should be doing or if it's something serious. Can you tell me if all this sounds normal, or should I be concerned?
Yes that would help you ,if its not working visit surgeon for appropriate management,and you can also add Tab Enzomac plus for better healing
