Hi. Im a 23 year old female. I have been suffering from scalp folliculitis since past 11 months. I've tried allopathy but it recurred. Now I'm on homeopathy and my doctor told me that scalp folliculitis is a very dangerous disease. It has a chance of turning into psoriasis. I want to know if that's true? Does scalp folliculitis turn into psoriasis at the later stages? She told me that if that happens psoriasis is untreatable. I'm a student and now I'm really worried after hearing this that I might permanently go bald. Kindly provide me with the right information.
