Common Questions and Answers about Bumps on scalp after haircut

bumps

Avatar n tn male I have been getting my hair cuts close to the scalp for several years. Until now, I never had these red bumps on the back of my scalp where i get close haircuts. I go to a professional barber who uses clean equipment. These red bumps are not itchy and dont have any pus. The bumps look like acne with no pus. I wash my hair daily. I havent used any new products. Are these red bumps due to scalp folliculitis? What is it? Is there any treatment? I like to keep my hair short(military).
Avatar n tn 1.5 years ago I started having itchy and painful bumps on my scalp. Mostly on the back side of my scalp. I received antibiotic treatment and they went away. 6 months later they came back. I received antibiotic treatment again. They went away. This past summer they returned. I waited for them to go away. They did not. The severity varied until December of 2008. I went to the doctor and he gave me antibacterial shampoo treatment. This has not been helping.
Avatar f tn told us to use selsun blue, it contained an ingredient that would get rid of this, just to rub it behind his ears and leave it for 5 min before rinsing this seemed to work clearing up the red bumps and leaving lots of excess skin that was just peeling he got a haircut for back to school he decided to get it buzzed to our shock the entire right side of his scalp next to the ear seems to be infected a large red ring about 6" and the center is all red bumps, now it is itching him unfortunatel
Avatar n tn It occurs when hairs on the back of the head and neck grow into the skin, become inflamed, and cause scar tissue. These ingrown hairs usually occur following a short haircut on the back of the head and nape of the neck. Treatment of AKN includes suppression of the inflammation with antibiotics and steroid gels or intralesional steroid injections. So apply antibiotic cream like Neosporin or bactroban. If the symptoms persist then oral antibiotics and steroids may be needed.
Avatar m tn My routine now is to take antibiotics for 1 1/2 weeks before my haircut. After the haircut I stop and it comes back full blast within 5 days. It seems like this problem is not solvable by using an external treatment. This is definately coming from the inside and is some kind of allergy or infection that antibiotics do kill. This is really getting old and nobody seems to know what to do here. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Avatar n tn Ive had this problem with the bumps and the puss/blood/juice oozing out almost a year now as well. ive been to the dermatologist twice and was given to rubbing cream prescriptions the first time, then these painful injections the second time to no avail. my regular doctor prescribed me something called bactrim which was a ten day oral medication that seemed to work, but when that was used up and i got my next haircut it was back again.
Avatar m tn from 6 days i have notice that many lumps has been felt on my scalp , neck and allergenic rashes sometime on back below the abdomen. can you consult what is problem.
Avatar n tn I have a fairly large collection of spots on my head, they are flat and my mother noticed them after I got a haircut which was cut very short.
Avatar n tn I have had this painful problem for years (4 years to be exact). I am 25 years old, male, from India. Here's how the problem started. Tiny red bumps on back of the scalp back in 2003, they got very itchy. I would scratch them, and they'd be filled with sort of clear liquid. After a few months, I went to a dermatologist, she prescribed me with something (i can't remember). It didn't do anything, and I had to go back.
Avatar m tn I have atleast 30 or more red bumps on my scaolp from the back of my neck to the top of my head. They bleep and puss and feel like spiders crawling under my skin. It hurts all of the time and I don't know what to do about it. I was seen by a doctor in the Army but that was back in 2003. I have tried shampoos that work harder to remove any dirt or oil from my scalp but nothing has worked. Please help. Any idea to what steps I could take would be great.
Avatar m tn i got a hiv test after 8 months of my exposure which was negative last week i went for a haircut and after trimming the neck hair i started having pain and now i have two tumor type of thins on it with lot of pimples.
Avatar m tn Hope somebody can help... Over a year ago I got my hair cut, just a normal trim - the razor only being used on the back of my neck. On the walk home, my neck was really itchy but that's pretty normal after a haircut so I ignored it. A few days later the itch hadn't gone away and I'd noticed painful bumps in the area, I couldn't see them obviously so I took a picture and saw that the top of my neck was really red and irritated, covered in little red bumps.
Avatar n tn I came home and went into panic mode and my wife did see the dried blood on my scalp because it was caused by the metal blades of the machine. I am not as worried about the re-used razor blade because he did not cut me with it as verified by my wife. However, I am worried that someone else could have bled on the trimmer/blade and my slowly bleeding wound was an entrance point that was repeatedly pressed against and passed though by the contaminated machine.
Avatar n tn i have red pus bumps in the back of my head.. it stated off as little bumps after getting a hair cut.. i put alcohol on it and it did nothing.. it seems to spread and itch very bad...WHAT IS THIS AND WHAT WILL GET RID OF IT.
Avatar n tn i had the same kind of bumps on my head and also got a boil on myu knee thats when i went to my general doctor. the first thing he did was take a swab sample of the bumps and tested it for STAFF infection and sure enough. Apparently skin staff infections amongst healthy people is on the rise every where. It use to be common only in people with compromised immune systems. Not any more according to the medical professionals.
Avatar n tn My 3 year old has white pus filled bumps on her scalp, even a day after washing her hair they appear. Sometimes some big bumps come up on her scalp that is raised and tough and they irritate her. What could this be?

1229807 tn?1267465864 I noticed the spot about 7 months ago after getter a haircut. In addition, I get pimples like those you see in the picture near the bottom hair line. I am not sure if they are even pimples, they keep appearing at different locations near the hairline and even at the bald spot in the past. Could i be getting these so called pimples due to unsanitary clippers at the barber shop? What causes the bald spot?
Avatar f tn I started getting hard bumps on my scalp several years ago. The feel like really hard scabs and are painful to the touch. They are about the circumfrence of the tip of my index finger. I have picked the scab off before and it leaves a shallow hole in my scalp, but doesn't really bleed. There is some sort of clear liquid that does not smell. When the skin grows back I have a small bald spot for a bit until my hair grows back.
Avatar n tn hi everyone, for about 6 months ive had these pimple like bumps on my scalp every now and then. sometimes theyre just bumps, and others theyre like pimples: when "popped" either clear liquid comes out or even blood. i have no idea what they are, does anyone have a clue?
Avatar m tn I have on and off 1 to 3 pus filled bumps on my scalp and itchy scalp too. Sometimes, i can have none at all.The first Dermatologist prescribed me Cefixime, Erymed and Desolex ointment. it does not heal and seem to make it worse. after a month, the second doctor gave me flucoral and her own shampoo and it is still there. swab test for bacteria after two months with results staphylococcus non koagulase. I am afraid of other underlying issues.
Avatar m tn The last few days my scalp has gotten really bad on the part right above my neck. It is really bothering me, and i need to find a solution. I attached some pics hoping that someone might recognize what I have and recommend a method of treatment. Here is a little background: -I started shaving around june/july of 09 -I never had a problem in this area until maybe november of last year... since then it is not uncommon for me to have irritation here. However, this far exceeds the norm.
512407 tn?1211294496 m not sure if I had open wounds on my scalp.... Also, while she was styling my hair, she scratched me a few times and I'm concerned that there could have been blood exposure where I got scratched. Do I have any cause for concern?

682098 tn?1236908245 Hey, I just posted a simliar question a few minutes about about bumps on my head. They're relatively small, and also under the scalp like you described. I also did research many times and through a discussion with my mother (who also has them) learned that they're Pilar Cysts, which are genetic. I've had one for years as well, and new ones that recently emerged which are thankfully very small.
Avatar f tn After I got the results and did a bit of internet searching I seen where HSV can be in the mouth. I noticed small red bumps on the roof of my mouth an a small bit of white pus on my tonsil. I went to the dentist who then sent me to my ENT. ENT advised of sinus infection, (sore throat) not HSV. Could I have transmitted HSV2 to her scalp? I'm worried that I do have HSV1 and may have transmitted HSV1 that I might have or the HSV2 that I was diagnosed with. PLEASE HELP.
Avatar m tn My new girlfriend and i had unprotected sex 9 months after dating and i have bumps on my penis too!!! why me? lol I have tried clotrimazole and canesten but nothing is clearing it up i even recieved some oral anti fungal medicine from a doc who said it seemed like a fungus, but he was too busy to check properly. I took an HIV test 3 months after as sugested by others and i dont have it...
Avatar m tn Also I get like red bumps on the hairline of my scalp and it spreads all through out my scalp. Even around my ears where my sideburns are. Its embarrassing because it gives me a ridiculous amount of dandruff. I use selsun blue, but it doesn't do anything. I'm thinking it might be dermatitis. What alergy medicine should I take for this? Any news or help on this would be great.
