Bumps On Back, Neck And Base Of Hairline. Rubbed With Alcohol And Tea Tree Oil. Why Is It Spreading?

My boyfriend got a haircut the other day. Soon after he began to get bumps on the back of his neck at the base of the hairline. I rubbed alcohol and then tea tree oil on the spot that seemed irritated. They began to dry up. Now he is starting to get sporadic little white bumps all over his scalp. I pop them then rub alcohol and then tea tree again. It seems to spread more. What could this be?

Hi, thanks for calling Health care magic forum.
It appears to be the contact dermatitis, caused by the infected knife of the barber. It usually be a mixed infection. You have to exclude the H.I.V,as well.
So i advise you to consult a dermatologist for diagnosis and treatment.
I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms ofloxaci, ornidazole, ranitidine , and ketoconazole soap.
wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
