What dose your head look like? What's your current treatment? I'm a 23 year old male and for myself I have found that Colloidal Silver takes the infection down 50 to 75 percent...can't kill it completely. I feel you on the accutane...feels like a way out...something to use that will work that gives me a break from having this folliculitis covered scalp...gives me a clear scalp so I can think for a minute lol. Anyways what I've found to work lately for myself (but my folliculitis isn't completely gone although my scalp looks great) I've been dosing with the Colloidal Silver about 1oz. 3x/day to keep the infection down and also taking about 25-50k iu of vitamin way...my way of taking my dermatologists suggestion of low dose accutane. I'm not giving up yet...still got a few tricks up my sleeve. Hang in here and don't give up!
