I am having scalp folliculitis. it's is at a small area of head. i have heard that after the course of antibiotic, it does recur?

Topicals: Follicular does recur in people prone to it. You should have an antibiotic cream rx from you doctor as oral antibiotics only used for severe cases not responding to a topical treatment.
