Dear Bob Liebert,

I have suffered many years with a condition that the MD's called "foliculitis." This condition of painful pus filled pimples on the scalp does not respond to changes in shampoo or very well to antibiotics. It is bacterial in nature and no one seems to know how to help in any way after the prescriptions fail. It is odd in that it comes and goes through the year for no apparent reason. I can't believe I just have to live with this condition. So what do you think? Any suggestions? Thank you for your time and effort!

Allan

Dear Friend,

See our SKINTONE FORMULA with such blood-purifying skin herbs as Yellow Dock and Burdock, and combine with ECHINACEA extract for internal use. It probably comes and goes according to the state of your immune system. A CALENDULA Extract (diluted) wash would be good externally as would GOLDEN SEAL (a little stronger, esp. on areas where the slight yellow stain wouldn't matter). Our HERBAL SALVE is good for drier patches that are healing or itching. Use acidophilus or live cultured yoghurt.

Yours in healing,
Bob Liebert, herbalist
