I'm noticing that the skin on my fingertips is suddenly getting thicker and kind of dry. Its happening on both my hand and foot fingers. I used to have really soft fingertips before, so I'm a bit concerned about this change. The skin is so thick that I actually have to shape them. I generally have oily skin, so this is quite new for me. What could be causing this?

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.
