Common Questions and Answers about Sore scalp inflammation

sore

Avatar f tn Cysts on the scalp are another cause of scalp sores. In folliculitis there is inflammation of one or several hair follicles on the skin causing red, bumpy and pimple-like lumps.Tinea capitis causes round, red, scaly bumps on the scalp's surface. In psoriasis bumpy patches of skin with soreness may extend beyond the hair line and there are mild to severe thick, crusted plaques accompanying basic symptoms. Wash your hair regularly and avoid damp or sweaty skin.
Avatar n tn Ive always had a tender scalp on and off but about 2 years ago I started noticing my hair was thinning where my scalp was sore primarily. Its been thinning at the top and around the temples. The thinning progressed rather quickly ive had to xut my hair shorter to make it blend. Prior to the thinning my hair would shed these grey flakes like dandruff especially if I was sweating or just finished playing sports.
Avatar m tn I have, what I can only describe as acne which is confined to my scalp. I am troubled by lots of spots and pimples, some have yellow puss in, some are just red spots. All are very sore to the touch. The main area of outbreak is a band across the back of my scalp from temple to temple, the sort of area where a hat band would contact your head. The spots are constantly appearing but I have periods of more severs outbreak. I have oily hair which I have to wash every day with baby shampoo.
Avatar m tn To anyone who can help. I have had a really bad case of scalp Seborrheic dermatitis for the past several years. I have tried everything under the sun to get rid of it and nothing will work. I have tried every kind of oil and shampoos. It is covering my whole scalp and they are very thick scales that even makes my hair grow slow because it has to grow through these scales. This "bout" of Seborrheic dermatitis started about 5 years ago.
1819252 tn?1317092002 Hi everyone. I am 13 weeks into treatment and I have a very sore,dry scalp. My hair is also falling out quite a bit now. I was wondering if any of you have found a product to help the scalp. I have been using Nioxin shampoo and conditioner, but it doesn't seem to help at all.
Avatar f tn Just this evening I felt this soreness on my head, I started touching my head and felt that it was localized at the very top crown part of my scalp - whenever I touch my hair or lightly touch that area it is incredibly painful and sore. A friend looked at that area and there is a bright red dot - the size of a grain of rice. The entire area surrounding the dot is incredibly sore - as though someone smacked me in the head with a hammer.
Avatar m tn All on the left side which is linear in nature when thinking about nerves being affected. My scalp is also sore to touch and every now and then I will feel a sharp stab/jolt to that area. So weird. Definitely characteristic of nerve pain associated with a virus.... just need a diagnosis.
Avatar m tn I myself am a carrier of HSV. recently I had a prolonged sore throat with acute lymph node inflammation, followed by a herpes outbreak in my mouth, and now I am experiencing small slightly raised pink bumps on my right arm, neck, and scalp. the bumps are hardly noticeable, but they have a distinct itch about them. I feel like this doesn't look good.
1546922 tn?1293691153 I just did a Go-Jo saturation for 30 minutes and no wax left. Then a little touchup on sore spots with 10% hydrocortisone cream. Scalp is feeling soothed. Waxy is not the problem, it armor plates your scalp so nothing else gets through. Inflammation stimulates the sebaceous glands to secrete more sebum.
Avatar f tn I've had this scalp disorder for 15 year and the only thing that seems to help to me are antibiotics no doctor could correctly diagnose my problem, it is a very painful disease at times the antibiotics help me only a couple months and then it flares back up. If antibiotic is not taken and the problem is not treated or the pus underneath my scalp is not physically forced out, it moves into the lymphatic system and has given me painful inflammation of glands in my neck and behind my ears.
Avatar f tn I have been on Armour for about 3 1/2 years and am suffering just recently with itchy scalp and neck and a bit on chest/back. I also get a pimple like rash and inflammation on my scalp and my hair has been excessively falling out. It has been horrible. I’m wondering too if it is the Armour?!?
Avatar n tn Also once again, there are only about 5 bumps in total. As of now, two on my lower abdomen, one on my underarm, one in the pubic area and one on the base of my penis.
Avatar f tn Thanks for the info! I have tried some of the shampoos with salicylic acid or coal tar - all it did was make my scalp worse- sort of firery sore and super itchy. that's why I think its dry scalp and not dandruff or seborrheic dermatitis - the symptoms just don't fit. my hair and scalp are dry, not greasy - even if i go 3 days between shampoos my hair is not greasy. the flakes are small and white and not oily.
Avatar f tn In turn, these chemicals trigger inflammation in the skin and other organs. In the skin, the inflammation produces three characteristic findings: widened blood vessels, accumulation of white blood cells, and abnormally rapid multiplication of keratinocytes, the main cells in the outer layer of the skin. In healthy skin, keratinocytes take about a month to divide, mature, migrate to the skin surface, and slough off to make way for younger cells.
Avatar n tn Improper lymphatic drainage in the scalp area thereby not removing waste products from scalp tissue may also be the cause . These waste products might cause some inflammation in the scalp tissue and around the follicles. The inflammation in turn could trigger the pain. Please consult a neurologist to find out if the nerve endings in the scalp area are irritated . You can consult a dermatologist also . Hope this helps you .Take care and regards !
Avatar n tn Hi, Im a 30 year old female and I get these on and off aches in my knuckles and wrist and my shoulder is often sore and my arm feels heavy. It sort of shifts around as to what exactly aches/is tender, and its not a constant although sometimes it can be like that for days. I think they are kinda stiff too. Back in 2009, so about 4.5 years ago, I went to a rheumatologist as a GP found I was positive for Rheumatoid Factor. The specialist did other tests, xrays etc and didnt find anything.
Avatar f tn Eczema, an itchy inflammation of the skin, effects many people in different forms, with one of the most common being scalp eczema. The scalp is vulnerable because the skin of the scalp is different than skin elsewhere on the body. The scalp has a very rich supply of grease from the sebaceous glands as well as carrying follicles creating long hairs. There are other symptoms to watch for with eczema besides itching.
Avatar f tn Im almost 8 weeks and just last night my scalp began to feel sore in some places. Anybody else experience this??
Avatar m tn ve also stuck to using over the counter creams to help with the inflammation,my scalp is ALMOST fully cleared of this crap. This was self-diagnosed because I can't afford a doctor at the moment. I went through a bout of hair shedding over the last 2 years, it wasn't major, but the hair growth had slowed down so now my scalp has thinned out quite a bit.
