Bump on my scalp...

[HAIRapy]

Please give me suggestions on how to get rid of this thing?!?!?! It hurts like hell!! It's a small bump... under the skin, so it doesn't have a head on it or anything. I had one of my friends look at it and she said that it's just a bump, no bleeding, crust, and it's the same color as my scalp. What would cause this? No, forget what would cause it, does someone have a remedy to get rid of it?? TIA

Could be a hair bump if the skin looks perfectly ok. Try a hot towel on the spot to see what happens.

I second Arcadian's suggestion. Using a hot towel on that spot, can significantly reduce the swelling of it, especially if it's not a pimple.

Okay 2 people in the same day? Ummm were you ladies ever scratching in those areas or are you perhaps having a reaction to anything you just recently added to your regime? Just a thought? This has got me literally scratching my head right now.

Sometimes I get those when my scalp is irritated. I just wash it and make sure that I condition my hair so that my hair and scalp is moist. It usually goes away in a couple of days. HTH

I get those sometimes also and I get soreness and tender, I am going to buy some neosporin anti fungal and just rub a small bit on the trouble spot, My mama uses it for everything, she even cut her hand almost to the bone, she said forget the emergency room give me a towel and some neosporin LOL!!!! I will let you know if it works, but yeah like someone said getting it moist helps out alot to.

Igrown hair? blocked hairbulb? This is why we recomend shampooing the scalp everyday to every four days..

I had two in my head - they stayed in there for about 3 weeks until they both finally came to a head yesterday. Let's just say what came out led me to believe it could have been a pimple I never picked at it though. I think it was from me putting different products in my hair.

Sorry it took me so long to respond... I did use something new. I washed my hair, blowdried, applied BT (for the first time) and then put CurlFormers in my hair and went to sleep. I also noticed that my scalp is tender too... I'm wondering if that's a normal reaction to BT... maybe like my scalp has to get used to it? I dunno. I'm going to start a thread asking if this is a normal occurance when you use BT. The rollers were very comfortable to sleep in, so I don't think it was that. Maybe I just have a sensitive scalp...
