I have a scalp infection that occurred from when I was brushing my hair to hard with a exfoliating brush. I had scraped my scalp causing the follicles to feel like nails were pounded in my head & were bent over. The pain was excruciating. I had put peroxide on a area which started to seep fluid. Not knowing I had exfoliated my scalp to hard as well . Next thing I knew my whole head opened up exposing my hair shafts. I immediately closed it by holding my head together. I have been on a antibiotic for a week now from going to the Er. where they thought I was crazy . However they did a ct which was normal. I then went to a dermatologist who was in a hurry as I wanted answers as to why my head was draining fluid but a elastic sticky substance as well that is pulling my hair into little holes & ponytails. When I comb thru this painful elastic stuff it just comes back faster than I can comb it out. The doctor just saw sore areas that were infected but had no answer as to what this was. I also drain out liquid that is hard as a rock when dried.They gave me a rx for a antibiotic ointment. I told the doctor I can taste it. She said you taste it? I said yes it s a sticky salty taste.She rolled her eyes and left.Is it possible I m draining spinal fluid? I feel pressure in one ear & have had a aweful pressure headache since this started. Along with stinging from my hair being pulled.
