A member asked:
Painful bumps on back of head (entire right side) 3 days ago. no redness, but constant pain. any advice? should i see a dermatologist?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Consult a dermatologist as soon as possible for diagnosis and treatment. This painful eruption may be shingles, other herpes eruption or a cluster of inflamed/infected ingrown hairs or folliculitis. These all are treatable and appropriate treatment and follow-up are important
