Small bumps on scalp thinning hair
Common Questions and Answers about Small bumps on scalp thinning hair
bumps
The hair that falls out is always from these areas as well and contain a small sebum plug on the hair follicle. Other times where the area itches I find yellowish sebum plugs right where it itches. I also have several rud bumps on my scalp in this same area as well.
What is going on and how do I stop it?
I am a hairstylist and two of my clients have small red dots on their scalps and they both have very thinning hair. I was wondering if there is a link between the thinning hair and the small red dots on their scalps. The red dots are somewhat bright and are not raised or open at all. What could this be?
Today I found a few red bumps on my scalp, it hurts when I brush my hair and when I scratch them they bleed. Help me! Will my hair grow back? I'm supposed to be getting my hair dyed tomorrow, will my hairdresser be able to help?
I'm 15, I'm on the pill and I'm anaemic - I don't know if that makes any difference.
My hair is thinning drastically on top of my head. When I shampoo, no matter the shampoo I use, small bright red spots appear and stay for an hour or so,then go away. I do not have scalp problems as far as dry flaky skin, these spots are not sore. I am a senior lady who has had this problem for several years now. I have changed shampoos many times and the red spots always appear. Does this have anything to do with my thinning hair?

Dear,
I have had scalp problems for a couple of years now which in my opinion caused hair loss. I have acne & bumps all over my scalp with different sizes, they dissappear and appear again. My family members tells me that my scalp somehow looks red. I have difficulties to exercise because when I sweat my head itches a lot. I have been to several dermatologists who prescribed roacutane of 10mg which I took for one year, but didn't really help instead I got some liver problems.
All my life I've been told that I have thick hair. I'm 21, Asian, male; for the past few years I've been noticing that I have thinner hair on the right side of my scalp. When I run my hand gently through my hair I notice that hair falls out WAY easier than the left side of my head. I'm not shedding clumps of hair, it's just my right side of the scalp sheds more in comparison to the left. Is this something normal?
I've been stressing about this a lot!
The infection symptoms I have are as follows. The hair on two small areas on the left side of my head is thinning. At the centre of each area is a small red spot of skin (not a bump, just a flat red spot). The affected areas have become itchy of late, and the larger of the two affected areas is beginning to grow gray/white hair. Since I can't afford a doctor visit and I know there are over-the-counter treatments for stuff like this, I'd like a suggestion on what medicine I should get.
After a few months i started having a burning sensation,some very small bumps and redness on the mid scalp.The pain became unberable.I also had some crust when i scratched it with my nails but i couldn't see any dundruff.I was also left with thinning hair.I used ketokonazole and nizoral and after around 2-3 weeks the redness and the burning sensation went away.My hair never came back though.Now i'm 21 and i've been trying to regrow my hair.
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.
After around 6 months i could see my scalp.Taking a closer look it appeared red and the hair was thinning especially in the mid scalp region.I could also scratch some white crust with my nail.I had moderate itching.After some months i had extreme itching and a burning sensation like ants crawling and i could sense warmth.The scalp was really red so i went to dermatologist.I think he said i had pytiriasis.I was given ketekonazole and nizoral and after 1 month of treatment the symptoms were gone.
i am having thinning over my scalp especially crown and its progressing.i am having this problem from past 10 months before that my hair were healthy and thiker but now they are very thin and my scalp is noticeablee on top.
i tthinking of rogaine ,,currently using nizoral
hvent seen dermatologist yet.
i donot have any family history of baldness.
any suggestions??
my question is for the last year i have been lossing my hair very fast in the front of my scalp thinning.
HI I STARTING TO GET THESE ANNOYING BUMPS ON MY HEAD THAT CAUSE HAIRLOSS AT THE SPOT WHERE THE BUMPS GROW, ITS MOSTLY THE SIZE OF A DIME OR MAYBE A NICKLE WITH WHITE PUSS IN IT, ITS VERY SENSITIVE UNITL IT GETS POPPED AND ALL THAT NASTY PUSS COMES OUT. THE FRUSTRATING PART IS, EVERYTIME I TRY TO CLEAN UP THE PUSS, WHEN THE THING POPS, MY HAIR COMES OFF EASILY. IT ***** NOW THAT I HAVE THREE SMALL BALD SPOTS ON MY HEAD.
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.
Hi,
Most people normally shed 50 to 100 hairs a day and this amount of hair loss should not cause noticeable thinning of the scalp hair. Hair thinning and loss could be due to increased rate of shedding compared to the rate of regrowth. This could be due to: hormonal changes, poor nutrition, diseases, certain medications, infections and stress.
This lump is smooth, white-pinkish colored, about 1cm in diameter with (head) hair coming out of it (not a pretty sight). This lump is located at a hair-covered spot on my scalp, and it isn't felt by me (not scratchy or painful at all)
I've made an appointment to my dermatologist to next month, but it looks like something that requires a more urgent attention.
What causes a red, itchy pimple-like rash on scalp with subsequent hair loss? I have been treated with Ketokonazole shampoo, steroid liquid applied to scalp, chemical- and fragrance-free shampoo and conditioner (Free & Clear), stopped coloring my hair, etc. and so far nothing has taken this away. I am now losing my hair! Can anyone help me?
Folliculitis is a likely differential as you have mentioned that the hair follicles appeared to be involved. Folliculitis may present with red bumps involving the hair follicles. The bumps may have yellowish or whitish centers. They can be itchy and an overlying fungal infection need to be ruled out here.
Keratosis pilaris is due to build up and blockage of keratin plugs within the hair follicles. The hair follicles may appear to have whitish elevated plugs near the base of the hair shaft.
( and I can see these bright red bumps. Im sure thinning hair ***** for everyone but when your a woman its ***** even more. Mine is hereditary. Anyway, I also have these cherry angiomas on my body, everywhere, but these are smaller and not raised. I was wondering if anyone knows if it's a bad idea to keep coloring my hair. I have since I was a teenager but didn't seem to have these like I do now.
