Title: Head bumps
Post by: hammerdrill376 on June 30, 2008, 03:44:50 PM

Kind of a gross subject I know but maybe you all can give me some advice. I love the SLY look however I have as best as I can describe it "bumps" on the sides of my head mainly in the temple areas. I don't think these are from shaving and I could feel them to a degree prior to going bald. Has anyone had problems with anything like this and if so what did you use to treat them with? I have been using witch hazel but it dosen't seem to be doing anything..then maybe I am not being patient enough. A friend of mine who is SLY says they will go away eventually but I am looking for something with faster results.  I hate the idea of going to a dermitologist as in my area there is a 4-6 month waiting period.

Been using the alcohol as part of my routine prior to shaving. Hopefully these things will go away.

First..Thanks to SimplyRed for emailing me some suggestions.

The bulk of my problems is the temple area and back above the ears. Not so much on the top or back of my head. The bump stop seems to have no effect but then maybe it has not been long enough..any of you had these problems as well? If so how did you resolve it?

I have read witch hazel helps with the bumps.
