You may need a physician or dermatologist to evaluate you.

Question 8

my hair hurts at the roots when i move it around or touch my scalp. i haven't worn my hair up in days and i washed it yesterday. ?

Accepted Answer

Neck problems?: A forward head posture can impinge the greater and lesser occipital nerve Which pass thru the trapezius muscle referring pain to the top of the head.  See your medical doctor or a chiropractor for diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

Question 9

why is one part of my scalp tender to touch? only a light touch hurts if, not a pressing one so i think it's only my scalp that's affected

Accepted Answer

Shingles?: If this is new (a day or two), and if the tender area is only on one side of your scalp (i.e. tenderness stops at the midline and doesn't extend to the other side), be on the alert for red bumps that would soon turn to blisters and sores. It could be shingles, i.e. a localized recurrence of the chickenpox virus (if you weren't vaccinated and had chickenpox as a child.) See MD if any doubt.

Question 10

bump on back of scalp.not painful to touch it's hard&non movable.havn't felt sick or taken any meds or hurt the area. grown slightly larger?

Accepted Answer

Skin bump: bumps and lumps on the skin can be anything from benign cysts to malignant tumors. this is something that should be looked at and diagnosed by your doctor and a biopsy/excision should be performed if necessary. 
dont worry, this is most probably a cyst but be responsible about your health and get this taken care of.
