Male - Age 20, Question: Do Scalp Pimples cause any amount of hairloss whatsoever?Hi, usually over the summer i get oily hair for some reason and with that i get scalp pimples. they occur in random places all over and can get to a decent size. they hurt only when i would accidently scratch over top of them or when i try to pick one. my question is, do scalp pimples in moderation cause hairloss, i mean i was wondering because since its a pimple it would cover the hair follicles resulting in no oxygen, etc.? and when the pimple drys out it leaves sorta a scab like cap over the hairs until its washed away or picked off. prove me if i’m wrong here. i’m just concerned. thanks
Pimples in the scalp generally do not cause hair loss unless infection gets out of control. You need to see a good dermatologist to control them, for that is no way to live.

am going nuts. I am a type 2 since oct. 07. take only metfromin 4xday and an asprin, fish oil, 1 a day, I lost 43 lbs. to date and the bumps on my scalp are driving me nuts and on top of that the hair is falling out. I could pull back my hair and it would be thick ,now I pull it back i look bald headed.
THese bumps are small and I pop them I then peel off the scab. Help me before I go insane I love my hair ,,,,or I should say I LOVED my hair.
thank you
