Q: i keep getting boils on my scalp. they go away after a few days. i do not have any dandruff. could it be the shampoo that i use?

: Pimples or boils? blocked pores or deep collections of pus? In either case I suggest using a good shampoo and rinse well, and should the condition persist to seek the attention of a dermatologist. Best wishes.
