Loads of cuts and scabs on my head suddenly?

Have you changed your shampoo?I'm sure this isnt head lice, but certainly sounds odd to have happened suddenly and with no itching. If it gets worse do see your doctor.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. Nope, I've not changed anything (soap powder, shampoo, deoderant etc). It's all very weird! The front of my head was "scabless" yesterday afternoon, and this is how it looks this morning after waking up:

I'll keep an eye on it (and keep photos), and then go to the docs if it gets worse / won't go away.

thanks

Andy

I hate to suggest bed bugs but thats always a thought. But I am sure that would itch.

If they have just arrived and are behind your pillow area then it would probably only be your head affected. You could try stripping the bed and looking inside the pillowcase, under the mattress , behind the headboard, and on the wall. If they are bed bugs you should also find traces of tiny faeces. I doubt its bed bugs because you would be complaining of itching.

Could be a insect bite or it could be a cut made during your sleep. It looks like it will heal, and get better with no problems by the end of the week.
