I hope that you have found answers by now. I would like to suggest that you see a dermatologist rather than a general family practice doctor, if you have not already. Your case needs a specialist. I know the embarrassment that it can cause. I used to have really bad scalp issues. I am a head sweater. At one point the eczema spread down into my ears. It was horrible. There are lots of new treatments for skin issues now a days. Don't stop asking until you get answers. Try a second opinion if you are seeing a dermatologist. I hope that you are feeling better by now.
