razor bumps all in the back of my scalp

[Marshal S.]

i won't be able to be seen by a Dr. until Thursday, but the pharmicsit by me says it looks a lot like ring worm! I would need a Dr. to prescribe an anti fungal medication, i hope that's what it is to be honest, i just want to know what the hell is going on because it has gotten worse, check out the pic below!  

the res on that pic doesn't show just how red these are, keep that in mind.

I will say that it looked like it might be ringworm or a similar fungal infection.  Your doc will take some scrappings to be sure.

thanks everybody for the help! doc says it's Tinea Capitis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tinea_capitis), which is ring worm of the scalp! He said a good reason why I may have this is due to shaving, rather the razor I had used, it had probably sat too long in between the first use and fungus grew on it, and when I shaved with it, that did me in. He gave me Lamisil cream, said it may take up to a month to clear up, hopefully this works! thanks again everybody! ill keep you all posted!!

To the OP: (Lo). Is there a way you can post pictures?  To post a picture, click on additional options below the post box on the lower left.  Then click on attach and choose the picture(s) from your computer one at a time. NOTE: The pictures need to be small resolution (about 640X480). I use Irfanview to get my photos reduced to that size before I attach them to any of my posts involving pictures. Good luck!

I still have mine I use nothing  to treat them I had in the past  but now nope. I may if I find something my razor bumps are not that visable I've delt with this sjnce high school. When I was getting hair cuts my hair was getting cut to close and barbers not cleaning their clippers properly what's yours from? So no hair grows in that area of my head anymore  where the razor bumps are  no problem for me. Ihave lupus that effects the skin I have steriod cream my dermatalogist prescribed I seldom use. Something to take a look at below I looked up. I've had a few shaving incidents before but that does not stop me or slow me down from showing off my nice shaved head.
