Is Clindamycin Phosphate 1 Topical Solution Advisable For Bumps On The Scalp?
I have acne like bumps all over my scalp. The bumps start out as white dry flaky bumps but if I bare scrap over the bump with a brush or my nail, the white crust layers of the bump, quickly come off and the bump begins to bleed. Leaving sore spots/scab. My dermatologist prescribed clindamycin ph 1% topical solution. Will this help? If so, how am I suppose to spread the solution all over my scalp?? I have very long and thick hair?
