Itchy Scalp, Red Itchy Bumps, Lump Behind Left Ear. What Could Be This?
Hi!
About a week ago my scalp became increasingly itchy. I've been scratching it in my sleep a lot and for the past few days there are several small/medium red and itchy bumps on my head. Today I noticed a lump behind my left ear near the hairline. It's not itchy and only uncomfortable if I press on it...What's wrong with me?
