Suggest Treatment For Itching And Sore Bumps On Scalp

I get sore, almost pimple like, spots on my scalp every few days. My scalp is very dry and somewhat itchy. My stylist says I don't have dandruff but I do have a dry scalp. The sore spots are sometimes a little raised and can come off when scratched. Sometimes they are pinkish in color and when scratched off they leave a little red spot on the scalp.

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain itching and sore bumps over the scalp can be due to a number of causes like Contact DERMATITIS, Seborrheic Dermatitis, Scalp Psoriasis..
