By any chance, can a dermatologist treat painful, hard-to-catch scalp acne?
2026.05.17 15:44
For the past few days, I’ve developed a few hard, swollen bumps (folliculitis) on the crown and back of my head that won't go away. They hurt a lot to the touch when I wash or comb my hair. Since they are in an area I can't really see in the mirror, I can't pop them myself. It stings so much that it brings tears to my eyes every time I brush against them while shampooing, and I'm so stressed out. I looked it up and read that if left untreated, it could lead to hair loss in that area, so I'm really scared. If I go to a dermatologist, will they perform scaling or give an anti-inflammatory injection for these kinds of scalp pimples? I'm worried that getting an injection on the scalp might be too painful. If anyone has tried this treatment, please leave a comment with a real review about how it usually worked. I'm so scared to go to the hospital.

- 02CommentsIt's easy to neglect moisturizing the shins, and it's surprisingly difficult when they're itchy as well.260026.11.04
- 03CommentsI sympathize with you saying that when your arms are rough, you want to rub them, but you want to know their condition first haha.220026.11.04
- 01CommentsIf it stings even after applying moisturizing cream, it might indicate that your skin barrier is weakened rather than just being dry. If it were me, instead of getting a skin booster right away, I would consider reducing the use of irritating products for a while, stabilize your skin condition with soothing care, and then think about the procedure.400026.10.30
- 02CommentsIt must be inconvenient if your lips dry out again even after applying lip balm. Would it be helpful to review your moisturizing method if you could list the lip products you are currently using and when the stinging occurs?410026.10.30
- 03CommentsIf it is difficult to go out without lip balm, it must be really miserable every change of season. I sympathize with your curiosity about whether it is simply dryness or if there is another cause.310026.10.31
