28 yr old male, I have had these sores on my scalp for five years. Been taking antibiotics for them but each time they come back, the come back rather quickly once im off the antibiotics and they come back more painful. Imsick of being on antibiotics its not good for long term and expensive. I used to think it was MRSA but cultures gave klebsiella and enterobacter (maybe I have more, I only got the cultures done twice), but sores come back after antibiotic course. I got HIV test and all sorts of STD test (all this after 6 mos of last sex activity) and was negative. my doc doesnt think this has anything to do with STD. he did a CBC thinking there was a problem with my immune system but that too was fine. he thinks its a glandular oil secretion problem and so incurable. I am so depressed hearing this,want to give up on life. I dont know what to do anymore. My lymph nodes on my neck and head are also sore.my prior derm doc thought it could have been diet (i overdosed on coffee once).Any thoughts? any cure there? or should I change doc? would maybe IV antibiotic work?
