What Do Lumps On Head Indicate?
I ve had these hard lumps on the back of my head that I can rub/scratch at without any pain and they peel off just like them but they leak a clear fluid. They ve been causing me to feel really conscious about it though and it leaves my scalp with this gross feeling afterwards. What s happening?

Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to a hair folliculitis. A physical examination by a dermatologist is needed to confirm the diagnosis. Meanwhile,I suggest using a gentle shampoo for to clean the scalp. I also suggest using an antibiotic cream and a steroid cream for local application. To avoid itching you can use Cetirizine 10 mg daily.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
