What Causes Growing Scabs On The Scalp Despite Taking Cypro?
I have a skin infection that started with three scabs on the top of my head. They were cut and cauterized three different times by two different dermatologist. I have applied an anticarcinogin cream for three weeks. I have taken cypro. I am now soaking it with vinegar water and an antibiotic cream once a day. The scabs have spread into a spider looking type scab. They have not spread or changed since I took the cypro, but they are not going away.

Hello,
Possibility of fungal infection is more likely. So better to start ketoconazole shampoo with conditioner.
Avoid dust and pollution. Drink plenty of fluids orally and keep yourself hydrated. Apply antifungal hair oil also. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
