Bumps on neck hairline and scalp

6 Replies

Have others suffered small bumps and lumps around the neck and scalp areas since starting B12 injections?

I did read that this can happen but goes away after a while. I have been injecting every other day for just over 3 months now and no let-up so far..

Yes I got plenty. Especially around hairline. Also on face and neck. I eventually got fewer and fewer and very rarely now.

Just keep them dry ans dont attempt to squeeze them.

An alcohol wipe or spot ceam??

Hopefully they will start to get fewer for you.

It’s got bad enough to prompt a dermatologist appointment. Maybe he or she might have a solution. Agree with you Nackapan, leaving them well alone is good advice. No satisfying pops for me 😊

They dont pop!! Just get more sore. That's the difference. They will clear up.

looking back at my records they lasted for 7-8 months for me. I didn't use any creams or anything. Same as Nackapan; they got fewer and fewer and very rarely now

Thanks for the info. These bumps are very annoying but looks like I might be in for a bit of a wait. Some come and go, some are much more stubborn. Have a dermatologist appt this morning so I’ll see if that helps. I’ll update this post later.

Well, after having steroid injected into the bumps (B12 injections are far less uncomfortable) And sent home with a few boxes of antibiotics and some steroid cream, I’ll see what happens in a month or so.

Not what you're looking for?
