Good morning good people of Nairaland. I hope you all are doing great and keeping safe during this period of corona virus endemic..

Pls I need help!! My younger brother has been battling with a certain rash on his head since 2013. We keep on treating and after sometimes the rashes disappear and appear later.

He has used all kinds of creams and was even on pills to treat the rashes yet the rashes refuse to go. Pls is there anybody that knows the name of the rashes and how it can be treated because my younger brother is gradually losing his self-esteem because he can hardly go out without putting on cap to cover the area that is affected by the rashes.

Suggestions, criticism and possible solutions to the problem are welcomed. Doctors in the house your input will be highly appreciated. Attached below is a picture showing the true state of the affected areas

Pls mods move this to FP for wider coverage


You can try Neo-Medrol,
It worked for me though mine was just 2 or 3 rashes .
Best of luck.

Definitely from the barber's shop visited by dirty agbero's.

I will advice you to by salicylic acid and apply.

Good luck.

He should stop visiting those very cheap saloon in the hoods,

He should apply warm water in a clean towel to the affected area some minutes before going to get a hair cut and he should do same after having a hair cut.

He should apply Neo-medrol to the affected morning and evening for about 4 days after having a hair cut. Aloe vera works too.

He should get his own clipper .

The reason why it spreads and grows bigger on you and everyone that has it is because u kept scratching it at the early stage. It usually comes out as one bump, like pimple and it keeps giving this sensation to scratch. The moment u do, it starts spreading/growing.

Bro, i know exactly what your bro is passing through because I've been down that road before. What he's got there is a very stubborn rash caused by infected ingrown hairs also known as folliculitis. I've read people's suggestions here but will tell u what i used personally to get rid of it. The most effective treatment for it is by direct injection of Kenalog. Kenalog injection will get rid it of permanently but must be injected directly on the rashes one after the other. So look for a good nurse or doctor who will administer the injection. The drug can be found in any good pharmacy and goes for about 2k or 3k per bottle.
I will stop here for now but don't hesitate to reach out to me incase of any other information. Don't worry your bro will get his groove back sooner than later. Cheers!

I'm not interested in either...I was just tryna update you on the price..funny enough..during my uni days, I used to buy neo medrol for #750-#800...
Neo presol was less effective and cheaper then.
I used both on beard aftershave bumps.

Mckoll is the simple solution to his problem, mine was worst but I bought this cream N2,000 from a Nairalander and all my misery disappeared. I have also used it on a very stubborn ringworm which afflicted my son and it worked like magic. My wife is a medical doctor but she has so much respect for this drug.
You can thank me later.

Please don't go for any injection as it may worsen the matter.

Yes, getting his own clipper is the best. The reason why I suggested salicylic acid is that it will kill any existing bacteria and gradually shed off that layer of skin that is infected, a new skin will then be formed...leaving no room for reinfection.
That's why some skin medications contain the acid. I don't know if neo medrol contains salicylic acid.

Re: Stubborn Rashes On The Head: How Can I Treat This? (Disturbing Photo) by chygoz3(m): 6:02pm On Apr 05, 2020
This is coming from someone who has the same problem. I developed it sometime around 2015 after a visit to a barber shop. Since then, I have tried the following:
- Aloe vera
- Neo medrol
- Shear butter
- Coconut oil
They did not work. It only seemed like it reduced but there were resurgences after a while. So I stopped applying anything on it for years. Since I got it, I only used my own clipper.

Last December, I visited a dermatologist who said that he'll give me a series of injections over a period of 3 months that'll dry it up and prevent it from spreading, but won't clear it. He quoted 90k so I did not proceed with it as I felt it was too expensive, considering the hospital I went to and its location. I had planned to go visit another dermatologist with the hope that I'll get a cheaper treatment for it. I never eventually did.

When I traveled for the Christmas break, my sister who deals in Longrich products suggested I try the toothpaste on it. I did, applying it everyday after I had my bath. This reduced it to some extent. I applied it continuously for about 2 weeks. This was not a problem because I was indoors during that period. However after the Christmas break, I had to return to work and I could not continue applying it, especially when I needed to go out as the entire base of my head looked white as a result of the application.

After I stopped applying the toothpaste, I started applying a cream which my dad got for me. I've attached an image of the cream to this post. This seems to have drastically reduced it. I've also attached an image showing what the back of my head/neck looks like now.

I'm not saying that this is the treatment for it. From my findings so far, it isn't an infection, but it is what is formed due to the hair growing inwards into the skin rather than outwards in the affected area after you get a shave. I doubt there's a cheap treatment for it and it may require undergoing some sort of surgery to treat it permanently.

As I've earlier encouraged, simply buy EndixG and apply it. That's what I used and it's super effective.

It's also very mild on the skin.
Re: Stubborn Rashes On The Head: How Can I Treat This? (Disturbing Photo) by LeonMacJames(m): 6:02pm On Apr 05, 2020
I have this same predicament.

1. You need your own clipper
2. Stop cutting your hair very low, make sure the barber never shapes the back of your hair.
3. Moisturize your hair with baby oil, or that area with shea butter.

What you is a sensitive skin, and all those bumps are caused by ingrown hairs.

You can buy Neo Medrol and apply to that place or any other bump stopper medication.
I wont advise you to go on skincut cos that means you will have to be having shaving like everyday. If you can keep up to that, no wahala.
