Help with severe scalp problem

by Blanca
(Tyler Texas US)

One of my aunts has a severe scalp problem. The skin on her head seems to be peeling. It started out as alot of bumps all around her head but now it has turned into a huge infection of some sort...I would like to know if you know of anything she can apply on it because it has begun to bleed.

Seek medical treatment a.s.a.p

Blanca, If the symptoms are not caused by chemical contact then this could be a bacterial infection and it can only be treated with prescribed medication.

Symptoms for bacterial infections on scalp area are normally appear as you described with yellow or red spots and sometimes dry and crust, follow by burning sensation, irritation and general inflammation.

For safety reasons try to avoid skin contact. If this precaution is not taken, there is a risk of cross-infection to you and others around you.

Try also to look into this dermatology help forum for skin and scalp problems.

I wish your aunt all the best and I hope she gets better!
