Hello,
How long do you have this problem? Does it spread to any other parts of the body? Does it bleed?
My suggestion is you can take Clindamycin with Hydrocortisone solution as shampoo for about a month and refer to a Dermatologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Indhu Priyadharshini
