Avatar n tn 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?
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 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 f tn Hi, Painful sores, blisters, or bumps that develop on the scalp may be caused by Infection of the hair shafts (folliculitis) or the skin (such as impetigo). An allergic skin reaction (contact dermatitis) can also cause it. Since you already have an allergic predisposition it could very well be this. Bacterial infection of the sinuses could cause the lymph nodes to enlarge.THe treatment for folliculitis is local application of anti-bacterial cream like mupirocin.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar f tn If I dont use any type of bump shampoo they can become inflamed more and spread. SeBex, a shampoo for types of scalp bumps has been helpful keeping it in control but the bumps still remain visible. I have picture on my profile that show the texture and appearance of the scalp bumps.
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 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 f tn 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.
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.
Avatar f tn But my concern is about the pus-filled bumps on the back and sides of his scalp. He has had them for a long time, he went and seen a doctor about them and the doctor just told him that it's like athlete's feet and to put some fungus ointment on them. When my fiancee told me what the doctor had said I was like "That don't sound right." When I use my blackhead tool to poke the bumps, this whitish yellowish pus substance comes out and it smells bad. What could this be?
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 I recently had severe scalp itching and about two weeks later I have about five bumps on my chest along with chest and scalp itching!!!! I am very worried this is somehow HSV-2 .
Avatar f tn 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.

Avatar m tn what are the tiny red bumps that itch in the scalp. they are less than half the size of a pin head.
Avatar n tn Many times in the last 15 years, I have experienced small bumps in my scalp that tend to disappear on their own. They tend to appear when my har has not been washed for a few days. I now have half dozen or so of these lumps that have grown and conitnue to grow. One on the top of my scalp towards the front of my hairline is much larger than the others and appeared initially as many as 13 years ago. The hair that grows from this lump is wiry and kinked, my hair is otherwise straight.

Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn I have had severly sore bumps that occur on my scalp for the past 2 years now. They come and go but start out as just a sensitive area on my scalp that I notice when combing my hair. My husband often tells me that he cannot even see anything until a few days later. They get quite painful to the touch and have recently begun to accompany a burning feeling. When I look at my scalp it looks slightly red, but not terribly.
