Pit bulls are also more likely to kill an adult than a child. In the 3-year period, pit bulls killed more adults (ages 21 and over), 54%, than they did children (ages 11 and younger), 46%. In the 21-54 age group, pit bulls were responsible for 82% (14) of the deaths. The data indicates that pit bulls do not only kill children and senior citizens; they kill men and women in their prime years as well.
Painful sores, blisters, or bumps that develop on the scalp may be caused by: 1  Infection of the hair shafts (folliculitis) or the skin (such as impetigo). 2  An allergic skin reaction (contact dermatitis). 3  Viral infections, such as chickenpox and shingles.  A skin condition, such as acne.
Dermatitis causes flaking, scales and sores on the scalp and is considered a result of excessive hair oil production known as sebum. Sebum is excreted by the sebaceous glands associated with all follicle pores. Sebum, in normal quantities, helps lubricate and nourish your hair. Excessive sebum can accumulate trapping dirt and lead to bacteria when acting upon yeast. Bacteria and oil causes stickiness and can produce sores, bumps and pimples.
