What is this thing on my scalp?

Question

I've been shaving my head now with a razor for about a week. I took a mirror and in the back of my head, beside an obvious mole there's this raised red thing. It's slightly painful but it doesn't seem to be acne. I actually have two of them. My theory is that is was maybe a raised mole that I sliced with the razor? have alook for yourself http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a207/psx1337/Photo55.jpg ... you'll have to flip the image

Answer 1

It looks like raised moles to me.

If you continue shaving, just be careful.

Answer 2

There ingrown hairs your heads not used to being shaved this is a common thing for people that start shaving hair that they usually don't shave I would suggest using some shaving cream that's made for irritation and ingrown trust me they'll go away sooner or later

Answer 3

As a hairstylist myself, I'm thinking maybe you might have hurt you scalp while using the razor. I think it's just bruises but I would see a doctor if I was you. I looked at your pic and it looks 2 me that you just scraped 2 close 2 the scalp.

Answer 4

Dude, it looks exactly like the moles on the back of your neck. Yep, you probably nicked them when you shaved your head. Try putting a bit of neosporin on them and watch em carefully. Strongly suggest getting a tan on your head too.. :o)

Answer 5

I can't pull up your picture but my guess would be an ingrown hair. Research this and I am sure it will be the same. This is common to close shaving.
