Small boils on the scalp.
It's been 4 days since i got small boils on my scalp leading to both sides of the forehead. Since then i have consuming a lot of water assuming that it's heat boils. The boils are not big, but small to medium sized, with minimal or no pain. But since morning it started ti feel a bit itchy as it looks like its drying up.
Also, just wanted to inform that for the last few weeks i have been applying coconut oil on a daily basis on my scalp.
Kindly let me know if it is just heat boils or infection.

in dandruff when severe you note small papules which are itchy and they desquamate.
for infections there should be painful, discharging pus, stick hairs.
oil application is not advisable for both.
