Suggest Cure For Bumps Appearing On The Top Of My Scalp

Hi, I had a couple of bumps on the top left part of my scalp, which are common because I shave my head and get them frequently. These ones would not go away and Infact started to get a little warm to the touch like a skin infection for also the area is painful. Now the left side knot behind my ear is swollen because I believe there is a gland and down a little bit further is a swollen gland popping out of the right side of my neck. Now jus as of this morning, the right knot on the back of my head behind my ear has a swollen gland as well. I have no answers! Any help?

Hi,

Bump like lesion on the scalp would be impetigo. The lesions may be painful and there may be lymphadenopathy behind ears and in neck. You consult the dermatologist for the firm diagnosis.

I would suggest..

- antibiotics
- antiinflammatory drugs or pain killers
- antibiotic cream to apply on the lesions
- cleanse the scalp with antiseptic like savlon liq

I hope you got my answer...
