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.
Sometimes, however, a tender scalp may be caused by hair that is very heavy and pulls on the scalp. There are even some conditions, such as ringworm and acne, that contribute to a sore scalp. In some cases, a person may even develop a tender scalp because of overly energetic combing and brushing.
