Should Ciprofloxacin Be Used For The Itchy Scalp With Lumps?

hi, i've had scalp itch with bumps only appearing on the left side of my head, for atleast a year. Have been to different doctars and they've given me various treatments but they all seem to irritate my scalp and make it more itchy. One time, while i was taking cipro 500mg for a urinary tract infection, my scalp began to clear up but when my antibiotic treatment was done, the bumps and itchiness returned. My recent v isit with a dermatologist sent me home with Doxycycline and Taclonex scalp, but he didn't tell me what i had. Should i ask to get back on ciproflaxin since it seemed to be the only medicine that worked?
