How Safe Is Taking Griesofulvin For Severe Dandruff?

Hi doctor, I am 35 yrs old and my wife is 30 yr old. Both of us are suffering from an unknown scalp desease since last 4 yrs and done a lot of tratements
but in vain. We get small and live "funsi" on entire scalp which dries up in 15 days and leave a small dandruff like stuff behind each of them. Each
infected place in scalp dries up and I can scrach out the dried skin. The dandruff like thing when stuck over face or back converts to a pimple. The
entire cycle repeats almost every month.

We started the treatment with some vitamin tables as prescribed by a doctor, we stopped when there was no improvements after 2 months.

Now a days we are taking "griesofulvin" tablets 500mg daily since last 2 months but no results. Also to mention,

first it started with my wife and after few months inducted in me. Please suggest. We both are tired of it and always worry it should not induct in our 3

yrs old son. Waiting impatiently for your reply. Regards
