Types of tumors on the head and their signs
Hemangioma
A large growth on the head that occurs when the circulatory system is disrupted. The veins can grow uncontrollably, resulting in a red lump. Under the tubercle you can see a network of blood vessels. Doctors consider hemangioma the most dangerous type of tumor.
It is the hemangioma that leads to disruption and formation of the surrounding tissues of the head. Often this type of tumor is located under the hair. A small hemangioma can grow in size over time and become a malignant tumor. If a hemangioma emerges, you must seek specialized medical help.
Allergic reaction
A bump on the head occurs when the human body is exposed to certain allergens. An allergic reaction is caused by food, household chemicals or cosmetics. Such bumps itch and bring a lot of unpleasant sensations to a person. To avoid the formation of such bumps, you should optimize your diet and buy products only from trusted manufacturers.
Fibroma and sarcofibroma
Fibroma is a benign tumor. It consists of connective tissues of the scalp. Fibroids appear on the back of the head, forehead and other parts of the body. In an adult, the tumor can reach significant sizes. The main factors that provoke the occurrence of fibroids: heredity, diabetes or hormonal imbalance. Fibrosarcoma has similar causes, but is a malignant tumor. If left untreated, it leads to death. Most often, fibroma is hard to the touch and does not cause pain to a person.
Lipoma on the head
Lipomas form on damaged human fatty tissues. These are benign tumors. Women over 30 years of age are susceptible to developing growths. Frequent changes in hormonal levels and impaired fat metabolism lead to the formation of lipomas. Such tumors develop both on the head and on other parts of the body. The lipoma is round in shape and soft to the touch. It can be detected in the hair on the back of the head.
Pimples and bites
A person can detect the presence of a lump if it is bothersome and itchy. It could be a bite or acne. Occurs due to poor hygiene or inflammation of the scalp. It does not require specialized medical treatment and goes away on its own within a few days. To speed up healing, you can use compresses or creams.
Bruise or injury
The human body is often susceptible to various types of bruises. And the head is no exception. With a severe bruise, a tubercle forms, which is very painful when touched. This lump is distinguished by its red color and swelling. Heals on average within a few days. If the headache does not go away, you should visit a specialist. This will help rule out traumatic brain injuries.
A wart is a benign tumor that reaches a significant size. This brings a person a lot of unpleasant sensations, in particular due to appearance. The main factors that provoke the development of warts: hormonal imbalance, inflammation and mechanical damage. Warts, in addition to their slow growth, are capable of multiplying and occupying a significant part of the skin. The cone itself resembles a small brown ball. It's not painful. The wart is constantly growing and reaches 0.5 cm in diameter.
Atheroma on the head
Atheroma is growths on the skin. They occur at any age. Both men and women suffer from this disease. It occurs due to blockage and obstruction of the sebaceous glands on the head. Atheroma has a convex and smooth surface, most often yellow. If atheromas are not removed, they hurt and cause discomfort. Lipoma and atheroma are very similar in appearance, so only a doctor can make an accurate diagnosis after diagnosis.
Wen on the head
A lump on the head is a hard, round tumor. Wen forms over the human skin. Fatty spots occur due to hormonal imbalances and frequent stressful situations. They usually have a non-infectious etiology. If the wen interferes with a comfortable life (clings to clothing), it is removed. Removal takes place in a hospital under the supervision of a doctor.
Childhood is a wonderful time, you can play and fool around, ride a bike and climb trees. Of course, most fun games don't come without bruises, scrapes and bumps. What to do if a child falls and hits his head? Or you found a bump on the head, but the baby did not fall. Should I worry and when should I consult a doctor?
Treatment of itchy scalp in adults and children
Treatment should begin with a detailed diagnosis. Based on the results of studies - laboratory tests, trichoscopy, phototrichogram - the patient will be prescribed local therapy (shampoos, ointments, lotions, etc.), medications, hormones, vitamins, microelements - in each case, the treatment plan will be personalized specifically for a specific person. Some ailments, such as parasitic infections, can be cured fairly quickly. Some, for example, skin diseases, require more multi-stage and lengthy treatment.

Carbuncle on the head
A carbuncle (“carbuncle”) is a necrotic inflammation of several boils fused together. The disease is a complication of furunculosis. The process involves the deep layers of the skin and subcutaneous fat. The skin becomes blue-purple. Several necrotic foci appear in the center. After they are opened and the dead tissue is rejected, the inflammation subsides and a disfiguring scar is formed.
With a carbuncle, especially when localized on the head, the condition of patients can be very serious, accompanied by fever and confusion. In severe cases, the disease can be fatal. Treatment is the same as for furunculosis.
Dandruff, itchy scalp, hair loss, flaking, redness - reasons, what to do?
In addition to drug therapy, the doctor will give nutritional recommendations. Correcting eating habits is an important step in the treatment of skin pathologies. Skin reflects what we eat and drink. Most likely, the trichologist will recommend giving up sweets, foods containing lactose, fatty, fried, spicy foods, and alcohol. And, of course, foods that cause an allergic reaction in a particular patient should be excluded from the daily diet. You will be able to evaluate the first results of the “new” diet in 3-4 weeks.
Reducing stress levels plays an equally important role. Healthy habits (timely going to bed, breathing exercises, physical exercise, walks in the fresh air, etc.), organizing a healthy environment in the workplace, and communicating with loved ones will help with this.
Proper skin care is very important. At Marina Ryabus’s clinic, you can always purchase the best scalp and hair care products on the recommendation of a dermatologist or trichologist. Comprehensive care will restore the hair structure, thicken it, restore a healthy pH, relieve inflammation, and remove dandruff.
During the treatment period, you will be asked to refrain from using a hair dryer, visiting a solarium, staying in the sun without a hat, or dyeing your hair.
