Odd Scalp Bump

7 Replies

Hi! Im not truly worried about this bump, but I will say it is a big annoying. I have this odd sore feeling bump in the middle of my head. Not at the very top but more towards the back middle of the entire head. When I touch it, it hurts and feels a bit painful but when left alone its fine. I rinsed my hair with apple cider vinegar and lemon juice with lavendar oil to naturally cleanse my hair. What is the cause? I have curly hair and I use conditioners and oils everyday. I dont wash everyday!! Maybe once a week or once every two weeks as I heard it is good for my curls!! I also rinse my hair daily just so it looks good. Help?!

It will go away on its own if that’s what it is. Warm compresses can cause it to come to a head earlier. Not to be gross, but it’s basically like a pimple. If it gets worse you could see your doctor of course.
