Several reasons for lumps on the head

If we have a lump on our head, we must not panic or underestimate it. We should observe it carefully and then go to the hospital for examination, find out the cause, and receive treatment. We must not use medicine indiscriminately and delay the condition.

It may be folliculitis. If there is no redness, swelling or ulceration, no treatment is required. If redness, swelling or ulceration occurs, local treatment and oral antibiotics can be performed.

It may be dermatitis. The skin is oily, the sebaceous glands are overdeveloped, and the sebum secretion is excessive. If the pores are clogged or oil cannot be discharged smoothly due to other reasons, the sebaceous glands will continue to secrete and sebum will accumulate in the pores, bulge out and become acne (red bumps). Another reason is that acne occurs due to an imbalance of hormones in the body. This cause is more common during adolescence. Hormone imbalance can also indirectly cause excessive sebum secretion, further exacerbating acne (red pimples)

It may be eczema. For eczema, you should try to find the cause and eliminate it in time, pay attention to adjusting your diet, avoid spicy and stimulating foods, and avoid eating items that are easily allergic. Suggestions: For example, alcohol, seafood and shellfish should be banned, and a light diet is better; try to reduce adverse external stimuli, such as scratching with hands, external soap, hot water washing, etc.; clothing should be loose, light and soft, and avoid wearing wool products or nylon fabrics. Try rubbing zinc ointment on the affected area.

It may be urticaria. Currently, Western medicine has no specific treatment for urticaria. It often uses oral antihistamines and corticosteroids for temporary suppression, such as oral Western medicine, oral hormones, topical solutions, lotions, emulsions, etc. Long-term or high-dose topical use of corticosteroids can lead to addiction and drug dependence. The most common symptom is that the condition improves after taking the medication, but once the medication is stopped, the primary lesion at the medication site worsens. When hormones are used again, the above symptoms will improve or disappear; if the medication is stopped again, rebound symptoms will recur and be more severe than before. Certain Chinese medicines, such as Polygonum multiflorum, wolfberry, ginseng, astragalus, ganoderma lucidum, jujube, Ligustrum lucidum, Cuscuta australis, Schisandra chinensis, Polygonatum sibiricum, Chinese yam, Codonopsis pilosula, etc., have multiple functions such as anti-free radicals, improving immune function, promoting metabolism, regulating the nervous system and endocrine system, and have obvious anti-allergic effects. People with allergies may want to choose one or two of these ingredients to make soup and drink as tea. Cholestatic urticaria: In addition to the regular use of antihistamines, atropine, propantheline, reserpine, etc. are often added to achieve a more satisfactory therapeutic effect.

Through the introduction, we know several reasons for a lump on the head, but these are not all the reasons. There may be other factors, so we cannot say that the lump on the head is caused by these reasons. We must undergo formal examinations and receive treatment.
