Suggest Treatment For Recurring Sore Spot On Scalp

I have been reocurring tender spots on my scalp for the past 3-4 mos. When it occurred the first time I surmised I had bumped by head and forgotten about it. But that finally went away only to recur in another area later...right now it is on the opposite side of the orignal occurance. I do not have any obvious bumps to account for it. Any suggestions?

Hi,
This recurring tendor spots over scalp could be small boils,folliculitis,tinea or scalp psoriasis etc.
What are the symptoms you are facing that you have not mentioned.
Anyway,you can take antibiotics (cephalosporins) with oral anti-fungal with other supportive treatment.
The important thing is to diagnose first and for that you have to consult dermatologist.
Thanks.
