What Could This Be Itchy/sore Scalp Mainly Around The Crown Of My Head?
Question: Hi for a few years now I’ve suffered from very itchy/sore scalp mainly around the crown of my head. At times it feels like my scalp is on fire, like ants are biting me. I have seen two dermatologist, with one giving steroid injections around my crown for 6 months. No relief.
My hair around the crown would not grow more than 3 inches. I ended up cutting it, bc all other hair was growing fine, just not the crown.
A few days ago, I mixed tea tree, lavender and eucalyptus oil in water and sprayed my scalp.
The very next day sores developed and now 2 days later oozing a yellow watery substance.
What could this be? How can I correct this? Please guide me on the right direction. Thank you
