Skin Under Hair On Neck And Forehead Is Itchy With Red Spots. No Dandruff. Stressed. Cure?

Hello,

Thank you very much for your help!

During the past two days, my skin under my hair, on my neck and on my forehead and temples has become very itchy and has come up in angry red spots. I don't appear to have dandruff, and I have bought a headlice comb which has not shown any lice. I haven't changed my shampoo or anything else that I use. I did have a fairly stressful weekend in which my mother was taken very ill and had to go to hospital in an abulance - could it be linked to that?

Thank you!
