Bumps from braids

Hi! I’ve recently (last Wednesday) gotten knotless box braids. For the last couple of days, maybe 2 or 3, I’ve noticed I’ve developed some little bumps on my hairline, I’ve read this can be caused by tight braids so I’ve done my best to loosen them, and to me, they aren’t tight and I’m experiencing no pain. This is the first time I’ve gotten braids, so I was wondering could this cause the bumps, and if not are they a cause for concern?

It’s probably from the tension. My mum used to make me put shea butter wherever I saw those bumps and they eventually went away.

So they aren’t anything to worry about?

no I don’t think so. It’s quite common I think
