What Causes Small Swollen Itchy Bumps On Head?
Question: started getting small swollen bumps on my head.. they just start off as a little bump, but end up becoming itchy, and after some scratching.. they scab.. idk what is causing it.. its never happened before.
Brief Answer:
Seems to be due to a fungal infection
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have carefully gone through the details. It seems that you could be having some sort of fungal infection. If that is the case, application of clotrimazole lotion topically should help. Also use Nizoral (ketoconazole) shampoo twice a week for better relief.
If the problem still persists, seeing a dermatologist should be a better idea.
