Hi does anyone suffer from scalp issues? I get these pimple like bumps that hurt terribly. Tried about every medication and shampoo.

Sounds very similar to my scalp affliction: the hair follicles are raised, itchy and usually with transient whiteheads.

My GP described it as folliculitis - inflammation of the hair follicles and prescribed a courtisone cream which soothes it temporaily - until the next bout comes along.

It's almost certainly associated with the hyperhidrosis (excess sweating) I have on my scalp and particularly along the hairline. And to cap it all - significant hairloss has given me a receding hairline.

I agree with Jpmac - with PBC, the liklihood of being susceptible to other auto-immune diseases is pretty inevitable.
