A member asked:
What does it mean when the top of your scalp hurt really bad and every time u put your fingers in your hair it hurts and i have really short hair ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unusual symptoms: This is unusual. If the scalp looks and feels normal, then even more unusual. Skin fungus or bacteria can cause scalp infections, but it doesn't affect the entire scalp and usually can be seen or felt. A medical exam would be helpful in sorting it out.
