A member asked:

I have yellow pimples on my scalp?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

When to seek help:: The color and location of the pimples are not enough information to offer guidance. If they are lingering more than a few days, though, it is prudent to let a primary care provider or dermatologist look at them and examine you.
