I have started developing small boils on my head. Have been advised to shampoo my hair every alternate day with 8x zpto shampoo and not to apply oil on my hair. Want further advice and the cause of these boils.

A boil is caused by a bacterial skin infection. This skin abscess forms deep inside a hair follicle or oil gland. This pus may eventually form a central head near the surface of your skin. This head may drain on its own, spilling out of the surface of your skin. Let?s discuss your concern in detail so that we can provide the best possible medical plan.
