Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi,

Probably you may be having scalp prurigo. Kindly consult the dermatologist.
Anxiety and tension might precipitate such lesions.

You may follow as below..

- find out and remove the triggers
- steroids in tappering dose
- antihistaminics
- application of mild steroid lotion
- cleanse the scalp with antiseptic like savlon

I hope this might help you.

Thanks.
