Avatar m tn You may be well but this swells in response to a local infection or even dandruff in hair. It can also be a cyst. Both are harmless conditions. However, show this to a doctor once. Hope this helps. Take care!
Avatar m tn Hello all, For the past 8 yrs I having severe issues with my ears and around the ears with itchy, crusty, flaky and weeping ears sometimes bleeding. I also have severe dandruff issue.Initially the dermatologist though the dandruff has spread near the ears. As days passed I noticed that when wearing some ear rings I am getting severe itch at the end of the day and then it gets a delayed allergic reaction. Steorid creams helped in the beginning.
Avatar f tn 15 years ago I developed seborrheic dermatitis in my ears and my groin. The first doctor prescribed a steroid cream and told me to wash my hair with dandruff shampoo and put a little of the suds in my ears and on my groin. The steroid cream worked for a couple of weeks and then stopped. A few years later a second doctor gave me samples of an anti-fungal cream and told me to use it. That did nothing. So basically I've been itching non-stop and clawing my body up pretty good for 15 years.
Avatar f tn Try using a dandruff conditioner on the affected areas. I had this and my doctor diagnosed me with seborrheic dermatitis. They prescribed nizarol shampoo to apply to those areas as well. I also find that my eyelids flake after using eyeshadow that is not hypo-allergenic.
Avatar n tn More than a month ago, after my bath I noticed two bumps behind my left ear, I was putting a towel on my hair and when it pressed my head I felt some pain. I thought maybe was a bite, but it weren't red or even had something strange, were two small (medium to large, considering the size of stuff on a face) hard bumps, like pieces of bones and with the same skin tone, nothing different.
Avatar n tn i dont know if its dandruff or wat, but it doesnt come in flakey form. it comes in tiny hair forms. they are white dust like particles which are in my hair and they never run out. what may the cause be and what should i do to stop it? i used to wash my hair every day/twice a day if i play ball. for the last 3 days ive tried shampooing every other day, but i do still wash my hair with water. but no good, there are still a massive amount of dust in my hair. What sort of illness is this?
Avatar n tn Also I noticed that my lymph nodes. (the ones behind my ears and at my jaw line are swollen. Its like raised bruises. I got some dandruff shampoo to hope that it will help but some people are telling me I should go to the doctor. I'd like to avoid paying the fees if at all possible. Is this something that will go away with after use of the shampoo?
Avatar n tn Now after 8 weeks, I have just started getting dandruff on my hair and itching around my eyes and ears and nose. I went through some articles about these itching (dermatos)and one of reason for HIV. Now I am totally freaked out. Am I infected?? Doctor, I never ever penetrated into her. Else whenever I had sex, I always use 100% protection. Am I to worry? Please advise.
Avatar f tn Then just last summer I started having this pimples like rashes on my triceps and just this winter my dandruff got worst it spread to my nose and to my ears and to my eyebrows. Is this a sign that I have HIV? Help me please. :( Im very worried.
4315059 tn?1352675085 Years ago I was prescribed zithromax. I took the pills as I should but was not told to go on probiotics. Soon after I got a massive fungal rash on my back, and got bad dandruff. Later, I noticed that I had what seemed to be "ear dandruff", and my ear was sometimes itchy. After months of tryin I finally got rid of the rash on my back, but the dandruff has persisted for years. Now I have had a painful earache went to the hospital emergency room one evening.
Avatar f tn However, twice I have found centimeter-sized bugs in my hair when I was taking a shower. My mom has gone through my hair thoroughly three times and has found no bugs, only white flecks, which she can't distinguish dandruff from nit eggs. The white stuff hasn't multiplied or anything, but we want to be sure whether its lice or just dandruff.
Avatar f tn Seborrheic dermatitis on the scalp can be treated effectively by using an anti-dandruff dandruff shampoo containing ketoconazole or salicylic acid or selenium sulfide. If symptoms recur, you may again begin with the treatment prescribed by your dermatologist. Take care.
Avatar f tn I have had problems with my scalp for a while now. Every year I shave my head and the sun/air combination usually clears up most of the issues (dandruff and itching). This year however, I didn't shave it as close. I have developed scabs above my ears, at the front of my head and also at the back on my neck. They are fairly large (all larger than a 5p piece) and I end up picking them off while absent minded. When picked, some bleed, but mostly they are damp and clear liquid oozes.
Avatar n tn For the past two months though, i have been suffering from daily headaches on the right side of my head behind my right eye. I have had a brain mri and nothing is wrong in that respect, but this is on my skull, not brain. Is there any potential that this lump could be causing pressure on my head or something, and thus causing me to have head aches all the time? Please get back to me, I can't stop thinking about it. Thanks a lot.
Avatar n tn Just joined so forgive me if Im doing this wrong. I have what sounds like the same thing you are describing. I went to a clinic the other day because I just couldnt stand it another day & couldnt get in to see my regular dr that fast. The dr. at the clinic diagnosed it as scabies. She gave me some cream medicine to put all over my body from head to feet.(They say mostly only infants get it on their heads but my scalp was itchy too).
Avatar f tn Point them out to her pediatrist at your next visit. I have a small lump behind my right ear that my doctor told me was something that made white blood cells. I've had it my whole life without any complications. Maybe its the same thing. If the lumps seem to be swelling it could be her lymph nodes swelling due to an infection of some kind.
Avatar f tn Hi, Are your ears pierced? Sometimes the metals in different earings cause skin reactions, resulting in a benign cyst growing behind the ear. They can range from squishy to rather hard, but usually aren't pain. The area around it may just be inflammed contributing to the pain you're feeling. Usually they will go away on their own within a few days to a few weeks.
Avatar f tn Feeling a little reassured that i didnt have any and it must be dandruff - i calmed down. Intil my cousin said he and his family had them from a recent visit to a friends house. I knew i had been itchy before then but i became paranoid again and insisted on being treated once again - i found nothing again and am still itchy - the itchyness now has a slight burning sensation i have noticed - im thinking that this is because of using headlice treatment twice in the same week?
Avatar f tn I will randomly get a pain in the back of my head like a headache but its very localized and sharp. And if I put any sort of pressure on the bump at all then it starts to hurt. Should I be worried? Should I go to a doctor? What do you think it could be?
Avatar f tn that were on my forehead, have spread to the back of my ears, and its not only the skin peeling off but ists increadibly itch and the ones behing my ears really hurt. I seriously need help can someone help please. Or atleast let me know what doctor i should go to.
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 n tn Mostly my cheeks though, and it extends to my neck and ears. I do have a history of mild acne which has occurred on my forehead and chin but nothing to this extent. I'm dark skinned, or more like tanned so when i get acne i do have hyperpigmentation. Would cortisone help? If not is there any medication you could suggest.
Avatar n tn Over the past few months ive developed dandruff i think then my head started to itch and now i have 2 hard bumps on the back of my head close to my neck and in my hair. its really irritating me what should i do?
436973 tn?1217947089 Hi hon, I hope to God that I didn't scare you in my earlier posts! That was not my intention at all. I was just trying to get you to look at different causes of skin problems, because many people aren't aware that skin problems can be caused by an underlying problem. A diet is only ONE cause of dry flaky skin. You could start with diet changes like adding salmon oil. That would be an awesome place to start.
Avatar f tn Pea sized lump behind the ear could be a lipoma (localized collection of fat), a cyst, an inflamed lymph node or a neurofibroma (localized harmless swelling in of nerve and connective tissue). Swollen lymph nodes behind ears could be due to chest infection, tonsillitis or pharyngitis, dandruff, infection of ear or even caries tooth, poor oral hygiene etc. At times they appear without any apparent cause. Watch the lump. Do not touch everyday but once in 10-15 days.
Avatar m tn Wash it in the morning and at night. Clean out your ears with witch hazel. I notice men frequently neglect their ears, and the skin can get very irritated. Get tested for food sensitivities like dairy and gluten.
Avatar m tn I'am Terrified, worried, scared, stressed, everything in the book at this point. The last time i had sex was with my ex on june of 2007!!! it was unprotected but it was a 10second thing, in and out. i was 17 at the time, she was 16, iam now 20 years old, i see her everyday, cause she goes to my karate school, her dad is the owner of the school and he's the one who runs it. now here's whats scaring me!
Avatar f tn 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.

Avatar n tn About a week ago I started feeling run down and developed a very slight sore throat. More scratchy than painful.A few days ago lumps at the back of my head, between my ears, developed. They are tender and hurt a little when I put pressure on them. My sore throat has not worsened: nor has it gotten better. I also have a very slight cough. At the same time I developed an itchy scalp with some dandruff (coincidence maybe). I suspect my nymph nodes are swollen due to a cold (viral infection).
