Why Does The Crown And My Scalp Become Tender Near The Follicles?
The crown and top of my scalp becomes very tender at the follicles. I thought it may be product used in the hair, but it continues to hurt with changes in shampoo and product. I only wash my hair 2-3 week. scalp is not reddened or itchy. just tender when I wear it natural. sometimes I have to pull it back so it doesn t hurt from any movement. I don t color my hair.

The possible diagnosis of the condition based on the description of the lesions is scalp folliculitis.You might need to apply a topical antibacterial cream like mupirocin over the affected area. Oral antibiotic tablets like Doxycycline may also be started after consulting your dermatologist. Regards
