I'm sorry to hear you're dealing with pimples on your scalp despite using medicated face wash. Scalp pimples can be caused by various factors including clogged hair follicles, fungal infections, or irritation from hair products.

Here are some steps you can consider:

• Avoid using face wash on the scalp: Medicated face washes are formulated for facial skin and may not be effective or suitable for the scalp. The scalp has different skin characteristics and may require specialized treatment.

• Use a medicated shampoo: Look for shampoos containing ingredients like salicylic acid, ketoconazole, or tea tree oil, which help reduce scalp acne and fungal infections.

• Maintain scalp hygiene: Wash your hair regularly to remove excess oil, sweat, and dirt. Avoid heavy hair oils or styling products that can clog pores.

• Avoid scratching or picking: This can worsen inflammation and lead to infection or scarring.

• Consider fungal infection: Sometimes scalp pimples may be due to fungal infections. A topical antifungal lotion containing clotrimazole combined with a mild steroid (like the one in Candid B Lotion) can help, but this should only be used under medical supervision.

• Consult a dermatologist: Since your current treatment is not effective, a dermatologist can examine your scalp, possibly perform tests, and recommend appropriate topical or oral treatments tailored to your condition.

If you experience worsening symptoms such as severe pain, swelling, pus discharge, or hair loss, seek medical attention promptly.
