Scalp Bumps

Scalp bumps can appear as small raised spots, tender pimples, itchy follicle bumps, acne-like lesions, or recurring irritation around the hair follicles. They may be linked with scalp folliculitis, product buildup, sweat, oiliness, shaving, clogged follicles, bacterial imbalance, fungal imbalance, seborrheic dermatitis, or skin barrier disruption. In Demodex-related scalp concerns, bumps may appear with itching, crawling or tickling sensations, scalp tenderness, redness, flaking, excess oiliness, rough texture, or stubborn flares that do not behave like ordinary dandruff or acne. This section explains how scalp bumps may connect with Demodex, follicle irritation, and recurring scalp inflammation patterns.
