Heavy hair fall with boils in head?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dissectingcellulitis: This condition is sometimes bacteria-related, and you probably need to get this cultured.If the culture shows staph or other infection, it may respond to oral antibiotics like the combo of Cephalexin and Rifampin for many weeks. Other treatments are available if there's no infection.
