Doctor Froze Bumps on My Scalp — Now I Have Even More Bumps!

Hello,

I am 54 years old and recently found bumps all over my scalp. I went to my dermatologist and before I could say a word she “froze” the bumps! I was in such shock and pain that I couldn’t move and when I got home, the bumps were much bigger, swollen and scabby. I started to use the shampoo she prescribed as well and it got a little better, but now I have twice the amount of bumps I had then before! Please help! I don’t want these bumps on my head and I’m afraid of going to another dermatologist. Just for some past reference, I do dye my hair and have been doing so for the past 25 years. Can this be something that is causing the bumps now? I really appreciate your help with this.

I honestly don’t know how to help you. I take the view that the doctor works for you, so if the doctor does not satisfy your medical needs, you “fire” the doctor and “hire” another. I don’t know what the bumps are or what could be causing them. You need to see a doctor who takes the time to bond with you. Unfortunately, I can’t provide more help without examining you.
