What Does A Red And Itchy Rash On The Scalp Indicate?

I have a rash that started several days ago, was very itchy, turned red and was also very tender on my forehead and extended into my scalp. After the third or fourth day they bumps which almost resembled pimples formed shallow scabs and perhaps coincidentally my right eye started swelling under the brow and eye started itching like hay fever. The area surrounding the affected area remains itchy but not as intense as it was originally.

It can be due to fungal infection orallergy for which take antibiotics like azithral or levoflox along with cetrizine or avil for itching. Consult dermatologist for further management. Don't get worried or fear about HIV and get back to me with test result.
