Hi.
As per your case history you are having scalp folliculitis.
My treatment advice is -
1. Don't squeeze the lesions as it may worsen the condition.
2. Avoid applying onion or any other home preparations as it may worsen the condition.
3. Apply a mild antibiotic cream like fusiderm cream twice daily on it.
4. Other treatment options are oral antibiotics like levofloxacin, cefadroxil and azithromycin taken only after consulting a dermatologist.

Thanks.
