I m new here but it was a bit Iwas just reading you . I m a male affect by scalp staph folliculitis. I had a culture and it popped out that my scalp is populated my this bacteria.. I took an antibiogram ( I hope that this word is correct in english ) and my bacteria is sensible to different Antibiotics . SO I started to take some. The infection goes awa and as well it goes away when I put on it Dipsosalic that is a steriod and salicic acid or something like that ... I readed about successfult stories about shaving. So now that I mnot on Antibiotics ( and my scalp have some pustules ) I decided to shave my head. With electric razor.And I m on second day... I see some improvement but some lil pustules popped out ... really little ones . The old infections are slowly healing . I will shave once a day in the evening and I will post my status...

This forum is great and give me some realy tought we canat least live with a bald head andno infection.. bald head is not so bad!
