I Have A Bump On My Head That

How can I treat a bump on my head?

It depends on what kind of bump it is, what it looks like, what it feels like, if there's a pigment to it, hair growing out of it, the shape of the bump, etc.All I can personally give you is an answer based on what I imagine it looks like from your question, which is on the vague side. All I know is that it's small and on your head. For all I know, your interpretation of small could be anything from pea-sized to golf-ball sized, and “on your head” could mean on your scalp, your forehead, the base of your skull near your spine — all of which are factors that dramatically change how this could be answered. So, I'll do my best.Anything on your scalp that's around the size of a pea (provided it's not covered in a scab or a cauliflower texture) is probably an ingrown hair, plugged follicle, or cystic-type pimple. If this is the case, the best thing you can do is wash the area well with antibacterial soap and cover it with a warm, wet compress to help draw out the bacteria that has built up within the plug. 10 minutes on, 10 minutes off. Don't pick, don't squeeze. It will gradually come out on its own. And when it does, wash it again with antibacterial soap, pat it dry, put some bacitracin ointment on it and then leave it alone.If the bump has more of a cauliflower texture to it, it could be a wart. Soak a cotton ball in apple cider vinegar and tape it to the bump until dry. Leave it alone overnight to see if it starts to flake away. Repeat the next day if needed.If the bump has any other texture, an odd pigment, is larger than a pea, or feels as though it might have “compartments” of fluid or fat, you've gotta head in to a doctor.Best wishes and be well!

Why won't a bump on my head go away?

A “bump” on the head could be almost anything from an injury to an infection to a benign lesion to a malignancy. It should be examined by a physician who can examine it, get a history, and determine what further diagnostic testing is warranted.

Why do I have bumps on my head after a haircut?

The bumps sound like folliculitis, which refers to inflammation, or sometimes infection of the hair follicles. The condition can be triggered by an irritating shampoo or hair care product that causes a contact irritant or allergic reaction (note: this reaction is not always limited to the follicles). It can be caused by pulling and tugging on the hair during cutting/blowing/styling; this traction causes inflammation of the hair follicle, leading to temporary bumps. Finally, shaving or clipping the hair too close to the skin can irritate the hair follicles, leading to bumps.The bumps usually respond well to topical antibiotic solution with/without a mild topical steroid.#rash #folliculitis #scalp #hair #dermatologisttwitter @stayskinsafe
