Painful lump on scalp

[Earthmum]

Guys in a bit of a panic yesterday i woke up with a small painful bump just under where my pony tail usually sits
Now logic would tell me that it's from tyeing my hair up to tight but I have never had a painful lump form after having my hair up most of my life,today is the second day still sore with a tiny bump, I've had a gum infection recently is there a connection ? I'm now scaring myself is this normal??*

Anyone have any idea?

If immune system is low you'll be more prone to infections, including lumps, bumps and swellings. Nothing serious and should go in few days.

Could it be a pimple?

I have had a lot of anxiety since March, and I am constantly getting pimple type things all over my scalp.

NO need to panic. JUst check back with them in a week and see if they are going down.

I had some of those when I was in a deep HA spiral. They were under the skin. I first wondered if they were lymph nodes but they really felt like cystic acne to me (which is the kind of acne under the skin, without a head, and hurts like a B). They took a bit longer to go away than pimples on the surface, but I'll bet that kind of thing is all you have. Acne is a really common reaction to stress. Why on the scalp? I don't know lol.

Aw thanks for your reply...you could be right coz this really hurts like a...
I have been under stress for 3 weeks with a very painful gum tooth infection which I have been dealing with naturally not even taking painkillers so I have put added stress onto my already tired mind 😔 so could be caused by stress...
I will wait it out for a bit I guess x

I think it's probably a little cyst or pimple of a hair follicle. Super common.
