African female aged 28. i have shaven off my hair because of a lump that developed at the back of my head. since then my head has been itching uncontrollably and i have painful sores everywhere on my head. i took antibiotics but it did not work?

Impetigo: Bacterial infection of the scalp. Culture from the liquid produced by the sore to be taken to find out which antibiotic is the bacteria sensitive to and you need to be treated with that antibiotic by mouth. Hopefully this time it works.
