Bumps on the back of my head

Bumps on the back of my head

Hello...I am a male.

For the last two years I have had bumps on the back of my head....they have spread all over my head. To the sides, back, and now in front. They are really noticeable from the back...they bleed, hurt, and itch. The other day, I got a pimple on my legs....I don't know if that is related or not...but please.....can you help me...before it starts to spread again?

Thank you

You need to see a doctor to get these lesions diagnosed. This may be acne vulgaris which commonly occurs on the face and other areas where you have sebaceous glands and hair follicles.
Androgens (hormones) stimulate the sebaceous glands and the hairs which grow from them. If your body produces too much androgen, or you are particularly sensitive to their effects the sebaceous glands may produce too much oil. The grease-glands then get blocked with oil and bacteria, and acne spots occur.
Your doctor can prescribe a course of oral antibiotics. These will kill the acne-causing bacteria on your skin. You will have to take them for about 12 weeks and you may require further courses if your tendency to acne persists.
Eloise.

i had been suffering from the same problem ever since i was 18, i'm now 25. i have been to dermatologists from all walks of life. at a point one was even lazor burning the bumps which was more painful & useless. i had taken most prescribed antibiotics and all sorts of creams. until recently that i met a friend tht i knew had been suffering from the same problem in the past & i was amazed how he was clean as he was worse than me. the magic was the DALACIN T solution. im using it for a @ weeks now & the results are so amazing
