A couple of weeks ago I went to the hairdressers and was conscious that she kept dragging the brush over a sore bit on my scalp. Very sore afterwards.
I hadn't been aware of it beforehand so I don't know if it's something I had when I went in or if she was overly vigorous with the brushing and caused it.
It feels like a hard dry lump - about 1cm in diameter and it has a raised ridge which I've tried to pick at to see if I can prise it off, but it doesn't seem to give like a normal scab. Annoyingly it's on the top of my head so I can't see it properly. DH took a photo for me and it's like a white/yellowy crust. It was very itchy but hasn't been after one or two applications of hydrocortisone.
I though it would eventually loosen like a scab but it isn't and would hurt I think to try and scratch it off.
I don't think it's psoriasis - no problems elsewhere. I wondered about cradle cap and I've just done the thing with a cotton bud soaked in olive oil to see if I can loosen it (used to work on ds) but no joy. If it was just a dry patch I could keep putting cream on it but it's a raised lump and is really annoying me!
Any ideas anyone?
