Noticed Change In Hair Texture Along With Open Sores On Scalp. Using Antibiotic For Open Slit On Ear

Just the same ear. Three months ago ,I noticed a change in my hair. Much finer and wavier.
Then I had open sores on my scalp. I have been using all natural shampoo and conditioner
That has helped. I have one ear that becomes open slit on the top. I use a antibiotic
And that seems to help. I stop using and it starts again. I do use hair spray that I never used before.
