scalp problem

Hi, I am kind of worried. Since start of Oct I am having multiple scabs on my scalp which keep crusting, bleeding and are very sore to touch. I went away in the sun during the summer and did not wear sunscreen on my scalp which burned very badly and I am very scared now 

any advice please? Thank you 

  • Hi there and thanks for posting

    I am sorry to hear about these scabs you have on your head. Unfortunately no one here can say what they may be or what they have been caused by but if this is ongoing you need to see your doctor.

    Your GP can assess you and if needed refer you for more tests. There could be several reasons for this including many skin conditions that aren't cancer, so try not to over think things until this has been properly assessed.

    I hope you know more soon and that this starts to clear up soon for you,

    Take care
