Question 3

why do i get ingrown hairs on my head?

Accepted Answer

No ingrown hair: There is no ingrown hair per se. It's a misconception that people feed on. What you have is inflammation of the hair folicule (sac) that is known as boil or medically as forunculitis. Why you get it is a good question. It indicates that local immune response is impaired. That can be seen in people with diabetes, psoriasis, or other systemic or local causes. Often no cause can be determined.

Question 5

i have a knot on the back right side of my head. first appeared to be like a ingrown hair.  mashed it and clear liquid came out.

Accepted Answer

Cyst: Simple cysts can appear when the fluid of a hair follicle becomes trapped.  As the fluid builds up it creates a soft mass.  Squeezing it can release the fluid.  If it is foul odor then this may be a sebacous cyst.  Cysts recur and can become infected.  A simple procedure in your doctors office can remove it.

Accepted Answer

Possible: It is possibly an ingrown hair or other small pimple, but it could also be eczema, or even psoriasis. There are many possibilities.  If it persists for longer than a few weeks, you might want to have it looked at.

Question 10

what can be done to remove an ingrown eye lash?
