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).
hi, i have a rash that i noticed 2 days ago, it started on my face i htink, but now its on my chest and arms aswel. on my face and neck the bumps are fairly small and a pale. most of the ones on my body are more red. ive notices a bit of dry skin on my hairline on my forehead aswel. its itches a little. any ideas as this is v. embarassing and worrying.
I've had several black spots on my scalp for the past 6-7 years. I've seen several dermatologists but none of the treatments have worked. All of this began with severe flaking on my scalp. Large chunks of scabs/flakes that I could see where my hair grew from. Then I got one large area (the size of a pencil eraser) that scabbed up but transformed into a persistent raised bump.
I’ve been dealing with these 2 itchy and flaky red bumps near my neck/scalp area on the back of my head. I’ve had them for about 5 months and finally visited the dermatologist. We both assumed it’s ringworm so she prescribed 100mg of fluconazole. It’s been about 3 weeks and it’s not working. I’m starting to think it’s not ringworm bc it hasn’t spread anywhere. Does anyone have an idea of what they could be?
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.
That helps and makes sense. I started using a new shampoo and conditioner and a few days later started with the itchy scalp and the bumps on the neck and around the ears. I've stopped using the new Suave shampoo and conditioner with Almond and Shea butter. Anyone else used this shampoo and had an allergic reaction??
I get it on my scalp, neck, around the back of my ears and sometimes inside my ear lobe. I also get red bumps in some areas but they become round and flat. They are very itchy at times when they are red and the calm down and become more white and flaky. Sometimes they connect together and form a large patch over my elbows and ankles, or knees. I also get spots of it on my hands, fingers.... it is annoying.
Hello,
I cannot confirm anything without examination, but it can be due to Acne keloidalis nuchae. 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.
The symptoms of Ringworm or Tinea Capitis include a dry itchy scalp, scaling, crusting, inflamed nodules, hair loss and tender enlarged lymph nodes on the neck. Diagnosis is by clinical examination of the scalp as well as a skin lesion biopsy with microscopic examination. Anti-fungal medications, taken by mouth, are used to treat the stubborn infection.
Please get this examined and a KOH examination of the skin scrapings done from a dermatologist.
Do you get bumps and areas on the scalp that itch and turn into lesions and almost scabby or scaly spots on the edges and back of your ear/ears and on your scalp after they ooze from being scratched open? If so, check out sebhorrheic dermatitis and psoriasis. It can be linked to allergic rhinitis-aka hay fever, and allergies or autoimmune responses.
hello, im 18 years old and I have had the same bumps on the back of my scalp for a few years now, and they look very similiar to the ones in the picture above, i just started using the sulfur 8 a couple of days ago and my head rarely itches so far, i have made it through the past few days with no itching! i hope they clear up soon for me.
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.
The face condition cleared up but I began getting red bumps around my eyes and mouth sometimes and my scalp is itchy. Round Red spots are on my armpits, chest and groin. I was given creams for all these but they just come back. My face isn't bad but the rest doesn't seem to be getting better. The shampoo they gave me doesn't seem to control it that great. The patches on my neck have grown almost entirety to my right side of the neck and a spot on my chin.
I am currently 32 years old and have recently noticed that the bumps on my scalp seem to be multiplying. I'm not sure if I should be concerned about them or not. I originally started getting the bumps on my head 8 years ago, I never really paid much attention to them. They don't seem to hurt. But in the last year, I've noticed they have spread to various parts of my head and some of them seem to be growing in size. They are hard and vary in size.
i have red bumps all over my scalp and it has been there for about 2 years. i have a habit of scratching my head even if it is not itchy. whenever i slip my fingers onto my scalp i kind of feel a rough tiny tiny thing and i will pluck it or just scratch it of. it would always be a very tiny piece of dead skin and sometimes it would be a tiny white solid really tiny. i did not lose hair or feel itchy but im scared.
Since then she has twice gotten 2 to 3 large pustules on her scalp. They are very painful and have a moderate amount of green puss. The first outbreak was three sores that appeared on the front of her scalp and lasted about 2 days, the second time was 2 that appeared on the nape of the neck.
Could this be staph??? Could it be related even though it has been about 5 months from the orginal infection on her leg???
When I retruned from FOB Hit a rash on the back of my neck popped up and the VA has tried many different creams with many different ideas on what it could be. It flares up as well. Now small bumps are forming on my neck, hairline and up my scalp. The VA doctors at most will send me to derm., just for them to say they dont know. So about once a year I go to the derm dept at the VA just for another go around, hoping one day they will figure this out before it spreads to my face.
