A member asked:

Hi. i have odd orangish yellowish bumps on my scalp. they are very itchy and tend to bleed when i scratch them. i do not use hair dye. what's wrong?

See a dermatologist: Begin with an exam to define the nature of the problem. Treatment depends on this. A skin DR will help you. Be sure to indicate that you are in distress and need prompt attention.
