Hi,
Welcome to Healthcaremagic.com.
You must visit a general physician and get your blood sugar checked. If you are a diabetic or even not you must check for fasting blood sugar level because your symptoms are related to pre diabetes or early diabetes.
You must also avoid oil or oil based cream on tour body and scalp.
Try to have shower regularly and also take plenty of fluids.
During mean time you need to take antibiotics like Amoxycilin 500mg trice daily for a week.
Hope my answer will help you.

Regards
Dr Muzaffer
