What Causes Acne On The Scalp After Application Of Fluocinonide?
I recently was prescribed a medication on my scalp called Fluocinonide to help soothe and repair my scalp. I applied the medication twice to my scalp and now I ve noticed there are tiny pus filled bumps all over my scalp that is causing my scalp to ache. What should I do?
Flucinonide is a strong steroid that is sometimes applied for hair and scalp problems but has the risk of producing acne or other lesions.
It is important to stop using it and let your doctor know of this side effect. He will be able to prescribe other medications that you can tolerate better.
I hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
