This is right up my alley, for me.
I have been suffering from a staph infection on the scalp for the last decade. I am colonized, and every time I do a cycle on Doxycycline I am clean for 4-5 days and it's back...
The symptoms are puss filled boils on the head, sometimes bloody. Sometimes known as folliculitis.
I believe I am colonized, but I also believe my cat is also infected and we mutually retransmit it to each other as we share pillows.
It all started in the nose 10 years ago, unlocked all sorts of issues and permanently damaged it. Then it spread to the scalp. It seriously reduced my QoL and made visits to a barber a challenge. It increased my hair shedding aka more prone to balding.
- batter 4y agoSilly question, but do you supplement Zinc? I've had something similar in yong age. I think it was fixed by Immune globulin injection. Yeah, I know it's strange, but for some reason it worked. Lately I've noticed that this stuff can come back if my immune system depressed. Sleep + Zinc usually helps.
- techwiz137 4y agoWell I would say not directly, some of my supplements have Zinc, but that is as far as it went. I and my immediately family, all of suffer from forms of Thalassemia ranging from mild, to severe. I have a form called Beta Thalassemia Minor, if it affects my immune system.
