Brown flakes on scalp?!?!?
I'm an African American male. About a week or 2 ago, I tried some extra strength s-curl. It burned nearly immediately but like an idiot I decided to suck it up and power through it for about 10 minutes. When I washed it off I had major scalp burn but it went back to normal in about 2 days. Ever since that day, these brown flakes come off my scalp every time I comb my hair. I can't even get ready in the morning without making a mess. Can someone tell me what is going on? How do I get rid of this? I tried shampooing but that didn't work. I put a lot of Luster's products (pink lotion especially) in my hair. Could that be it? Oh, and after I did the s-curl my hairline has been a bit thinner than normal. Will it grow back?
Little crusty bumps on scalp?
For about 2 years I've had these strange little crusty bumps that grow on my scalp. I pick them off every few days, and they keep growing back. Sometimes they bleed if I scratch them. They haven't made me sick or anything so far, but is there any way to get rid of them? Do you know what causes them? thanks :)
Weird flaky spots on penis, palms and scalp. What could it be?
If you have these on your penis, why don't you visit dermatologist instead of asking questions here? It could be number of things. Psoriasis, yeast infection, etc.
Strange bumps on scalp?
So I have had this problem for a while but it goes away or lessens once in a while. This is gross but here is what it is like... They are hard, and it is possible to pick them off (and if I do, it looks like dry skin, like tan/yellow flakes and it is wet after which I'm guessing would be pus) I don't think its a cleanliness issue because I wash my hair everyday. And I'm not sure if it is just dry skin because of the fluid that comes out of them. I'm thinking about making a doctors appt on friday if this is something serious. And no they don't hurt unless I touch them. And they have bled a few times as well. Does anyone know what this is and how to treat it?
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
Bumps full of puss on ur scalp thats very tender?
Does it come and go? Does it itch and flake? If so, it could be psoriasis or ring-worms. Ring worms are not actually worms, but a fungus or mold infection. In the case of Ringworms, your lymphnodes on the back of your neck, just below your hairline will become slightly swollen and the scalp will have a funny smell. In the case of psoriasis, it usually starts with dry cracking and flaking skin, then becomes a sore. Triggered by stress or sunlight.
Do I have eczema on my scalp?
I have little red bumps on my hair. Idk, its weird. I don't know anything about eczema and my mom has it on her back, but she never complains about, only a few times. I asked her and she isn't sure. I have a doctor appointment next week and I'll ask because I have bigger bumps like the size of a pimple. I also do have dandruff, but never this bad and my head been itchy since October! I know its not lice, I've had that before and my mom check. What do you guys think?? I use head and shoulder, but doesn't seem to work. Can eczema just appear? Or does it happen when your little? Im 17 now and kinda confused.
Wet (sometimes bleeding) peeling scalp?
I have dandruff but it may be something more. I seem to have spots on my head that build up scalp that when peeled off will be wet and sometimes the gunk will be reddish because it may have some blood in it. I also can never seem to scratch my scalp clean, it never ends. I could scratch my scalp for hours and still have stuff coming off.
