I noticed that I have a bump on my scalp, in the nape area. I think it's a hair bump. What causes these? Does anyone else get them? Is there any thing I can put on it to make it go away? I don't want to squeeze it because it feels sore .
well its probably nothing to worry about, just let it do its thing and drain and heal, just take care to watch out to not let it get infected , if its not huge and swollen indicating a more massive infection, I would just let it do what it does like any pimple does thenThank you, Iris. I'm not sure what may have caused it. The only new product that I used lately is a relaxer (about 3 weeks ago-not my usual brand) . I was scared that my nape would start breaking off so I didn't leave it on long. I can't think of anything else right now.
ETA...It's not very big, maybe the size of a pimple?
Ahhh - I've gotten those, usually when I accidentally pull my hair too tight - it's like I irritate a follicle or something. I usually just leave it be, and it goes away on it's own, in a little while.
