Hello all,
Long time lurker first time poster. Will write a more detailed intro bout my self and my rosacea at a later date but for now I need to ask a quick question.
I have rosacea and seb derm. On my scalp I have one or two little lumps dotted around which aren't really painful and aren't noticable beneath my hair when it's long. I've left it for a few months without treatment and the lumps haven't gone. Note also that I only wash my hair bout once a week :oops: !
Anyway I went to a doctor and he told me it is probably ringworm (a fungal infection?) and gave me hydrocortisone to use.
If it is what he says it is, it doesn't surprise me that my useless skin is over reacting to the normal bacteria in my hair.
Does it sound like ringworm?
Will the hydrocortisone sort it out?
I hope the waiting hasn't done any lasting damage?
Is it normal to have ringworm in conjunction with rosacea/seb derm?
Thank you sincerely :)
