Scalp

[Anonymous]

it's like... really eww...

i have long hair and and i wash it and straighten it every day and when i feel through it there are like scabs on the back left of my head. i've had them a while now hoping they'd go away but nope... i was wondering if it's because the skin is soft when i comb it and i end up like injuring myself or something, lol, but if that's the case i'd have them elsewhere... also because i have a habit of picking scabs, they are yellow in color, like popped pimples when all the blood as gone. (yeah, i'm icky :p)

i just wonder what could be causing it, and how to get rid of it. it's getting pretty long (about 6 inches) and i want to have shortish hair now, but i'm too embarrassed to get it cut. >_<

Please help!

I had those like two years ago. try drying your hair after your shower with a hairdryer. they went away when i did that. i guess it is from not drying your hair properly.

i don't think hairdrying is the issue... since i blowdry it every day thoroughly. i was thinking it might be the straighteners getting too close to my scalp and it burns it or something but i doubt its that either... >_<

maybe you are drying your hair out too much. or maybe they are just pimples. I am no expert, but they do not pose harm.

I had short hair, and they were not visible when i had them.
