bumps on scalp that itch

I have small bumps on my scalp that sometimes itch and when I scratch them not thinking they are there they really hurt. Then they scab up then come back and scab up again. They are on the top left of my scalp and around the nap of my neck. What are they?

For the past four days my scalp (some parts of it , like wear my middle part is an just outside the egde of my scalp on my forehead) My left half of my face is extremely itchy, my eye is veiny -er and my eye lid hurts, theres no rash really no bumps that i've seen so far, it just itches and itches painfully that im in near tears. I bought T gel and it helped to maybe about four minutes after my shower before i felt the tingle of oncoming itches.

In my first e-mail, I listed that I had no flakes. I have red bumps on my scalp in that one area (the scalp behind the lower part of my right ear and down to the end of my hairline just on my right side) and on my right underarm. So I'm wondering how can it be seborrheic dermatitis? Isn't there something else that it might be?

I've been having issues with these large bumps on my scalp that feel like mosquito bites. I know its not lice and its has happened several times over past year. The only last about a day. They are small at first then get bigger and itch like crazy. usually starts with my ear itching right behind it and my ear then gets red and swollen. then I have a few of the bumps show up in the hair line on each side of my forehead. they itch like crazy. then a few on the back of my head.

I have had raised small bumps on my scalp for a couple of years. I'm afraid I have a habit of picking at them. They seem like pimples, but they don't heal like them. They don't itch and sometimes sting in the shower. What skin conditon is this?

Hi i would like to ask a question about herpes can the herpes outbreak sometimes hit your face? have strange bumps appearing on face looks like whitehead pimple but ends as sore that leaves a little mark which leads me to another question. can a person who is said to have a underlaying case of chicken pox{ if there is such a thing} infect a person with the virus.i hope this does'nt sound stupid but the marks look like little chicken-pox marks.

I am a 22 year old female who has suffered from scalp dermatitis for years. After using Rx shampoo it has been better. The past two weeks I've had tiny tiny clear bumps on the back of my neck that are beginning to itch. They are not red and don't look irritated. I can't tell if they'll fluid filled because I don't want to go popping them. What could this be?

I have sore hard bumps on scalp. I have been to two dermatoligst, with no success for two years. They hurt and itch. They gave me shampoo, pills, and injections. They seem like they don't know what it is.

I am taking them for weight loss and something such as bumps came up on my scalp. Just wondering if anyone else has had this side effect. They don't itch so I don't think they are hives.

I try not to scratch because that obviously irritates the skin more and turns it red. I also have an odd patch of bumps on my scalp. The bumps on my scalp have been there for quite some time. They itch and are very red and Im not sure what to do about it. I havent changed anything in my daily living to out of the norm. I use the same soaps and lotions that I always have so I dont think its an allergic reaction.

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.

One more thing on the yellow scabs on scalp. I didn't notice any sort of blisters prior to yesterday. The only thing I discovered was the scab yesterday. Now of course I feel like my whole top of my head is itching. Anxiety continues.

The bumps become very dry and flaky after I use the antibacterial shampoo but even with the shampoo treatment new bumps always form. They have become extremely itch and flaky. Persistent on scalp behind head. Two larger bumps have formed on both sides of my head behind the ear. Not sure if they are lymph nodes trying to fight the infection or cysts. What should I do? These bumps are stressing me out A LOT!!!

from my scalp to my feet/toes, i itch like crazy. while there are no rashes, necessarily, i've noticed tiny itchy bumps, some very red, others with white heads on them. it feels like there's something 'crawling' on me, especially when i lay down. the itching is worse at night. i'm in a celibacy phase & haven't had sex in two months' time. i've developed red intensely itching bumps inside my labia majora/above the clitoris.

My son just turned 17~ last year he had red bumps behind his ears that started to itch and had excess skin very ugly the family Dr.

I too have the same problem with my scalp. I have been suffering for the past 5 years or more. I have been to the dermatologist to just be prescribed medications I can't afford. My hair have fallen out and I am forced to wear wigs which makes the itching worse. My issues with my scalp are confined to the top and middle of my head. The sides and back of my head are normal and do not itch or get pus filled bumps. The bumps are so painful sometimes that I just can't take it.

Thanks!

My doctor looked at my scalp and said ok. Sometimes I feel my ears itch too. Because of my scalp itch, my neck also itch. Anyone knows what I should do.

what are the tiny red bumps that itch in the scalp. they are less than half the size of a pin head.

If it is a recent thing maybe it could be something that your using on ur scalp that could be irritating it e.g. shampoo/ styling products? Or maybe its a change in your hormones or a dietary problem, maybe you could have a blood test to diagnose anything thats underlying like a deficiency?

I have been getting these bumps on my scalp for about 4 years. My head will itch in an area and then the bumps come. They'll hurt and if I pull out the hairs in the bump they'll have this coating on the end of the hair. And once they are out the bump and pain goes away and the hair grows back just fine.

Ringworm is a fungal skin infection that occurs on the face, body or scalp. 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. Please consult a dermatologist and get it evaluated. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.

"I have had this for a few months now (2-4 months) and I have had bumps around my scalp. They come and go. I have not had such a bad itch recently but, I also itch around my body, although it's not horrible. I just want to know what I have.

about a week later I started noticing little bumps, almost like goose bumps, in the areas that were itching, and now they have turned into redish splotchy areas. I have had this before about 5 months ago and it lasted for about a month, then it gradually went away. I changed my clothing detergent, soap, have not used any kind of skin creams, and am not on any medication. I have asked many friends, doctors and anyone who will listen, "what is this?" i am severly itchy.

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.
