Hi. I am 24 year old female. I am suffering from scalp folliculitis since past two years. I get white painful pustules on my head. Usually they are 5-7 in number but I have noticed once in 15 days I get a really bad break out where they increase to 20-25. They are all over my head. Frontal hair line. In between and even at the back of my head. They start with a reddish eruption and then convert into white pustules. I have sought different treatments. Initially I was on amoxicillin 500 mg twice a day. Then I was on linox 600 mg twice a day for 7 days along with topical clindamycin solution. This would clear up the pustules for 15 days but then they would return back worse than before. Skin prick test was also done and I avoided things which came positive on it like coconut, beans etc. I have tried homeopathy as well. I was given doses of hepar sulphur. Adel 73 and mezereum and a combination of others too but nothing really helped. Homeopathic medications would not dry it out. Have been given neem tablets too and neem oil which I took for 8 months along with turmeric tablets but that didn’t help too. I’m a student and my condition effects my studies a lot. Some days it gets difficult to even comb my hair hence I cannot go to college which effects my attendance. Kindly suggest me a way out of this terrible disease and I am losing hope.

There is a 25% chance that your child may have Hemoglobin E disease. But relax. HbE disease patients are asymptomatic and can lead a healthy normal life off treatment.

No, it is not a life threatening disease.
Confirm the diagnosis with reliable labs, Hb-HPLC.
Precaution during the marriage age/period has to be taken.
He/she with Thalssemia minor should not marry a person with Thalassemia minor to avoid a offspring with Thalassemia major.
Thalassemia-'major' is a condition which requires life long blood transfusions, iron chelation or HLA matched Allogeneic stem cell transplantation.

Is it Thalassemia major or trait/minor.
If trait/minor no need of any treatment.
If it is major and family HLA match donor is available, Allogeneic stem cell transplant is the curative treatment. It is better to discuss Transplant treatment procedure with BMT/transplant physician working in good BMT/transplant center; it's not that simple to explain the procedures/indication/risk factors/outcome/expenditure here in this platform.
So, please, consultant Hematologist working in good tr...more

Beta thalassemia trait is not a disease. You just are a carrier of the disease. You should just ensure that you marry somebody who is NOT a carrier of Beta thalassemia to ensure that your offspring has NO chance to have thalassemia. However in the scenario that you do eventually end up marrying somebody who is a carrier, you should first contact the local Thalassemia control center or a Hematologist to discuss what are tge steps and procedures do follow in your pregnancy to ensure that you do no...more

Ideally you can go for a hla matched sibling or unrelated transplant. However, transplant has its own problems. In that scenario regular blood transfusion and adequate iron chelation therapy should suffice to give a reasonable quality of life. However if you are adamant at cure a haplo transplant can also be done in thal major. But you must know that it is a costly procedure and can have many complications. However for that you need to consult a good centre with good expertise in haplo transplan...more
