So I've apparently had mc since March-April 2017 without knowing it, never had a single doctor mention that the bumps on my bum sempt odd. I had got herpes back in February (condoms don't always protect you kids, don't be stupid) so I wrongly assumed it was a herpes related bump and left it alone. Well here I am now with it on my arms, chest, face, pubic area and a new development MY SCALP. I'm very confused because I NEVER touched them but they spread anyway? (Maybe I unknowingly scratched them in my sleep then touched other parts on my body I honestly don't have a clue). All the other places I've tried to remain positive and have been doing salicylic acid on them and it seems to work. But I'm at a loss with this one. Any suggestions? Has anyone else ever experienced this on their scalp? I can legit say this has been worse then herpes haha. I'm desperate, my scalp itches so bad.. it sucks not being able to touch your own head.

    Hi hope,

    So did you really have MC on your scalp?  If yes, how do you treat it?  My scalp itches and I found couple bumps but not sure if they are MC.  It’s so hard to tell when you can’t see it.  I don’t know how it gets there.  I thought MC is not usually itchy unless you irritate it.

      Aloha,

      So this one's been the hardest to deal with, yep I have it at the base of my scalp. I haven't figured out how to treat it, my primary care refuses to treat it because "it will eventually go away" and I can't afford a dermatologist. This has been an absolute nightmare..

      How do you keep them from spreading?  I have it in my sides if the scalp.  I’m afraid it spreads to my face.  Can I apply coconut oil to keep it from spreading?
