What Causes Bumps On The Scalp And Severe Headache?

Thank you, I have these bumps, i guess you would call them, that have appeared on top of my head they are very sore to touch and i have bad headaches...i first found them about a year ago and thought it was maybe new shampoo or hair dye that caused them...they go away but then will come back later on...this time they appeared about a month ago and are the worse they have been...there is only about 6 of them this time...any idea what it could be?

Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hi.
As per your case history you are having either folliculitis on scalp or allergic reaction.
My treatment advice is -
1. Don't scratch the lesions as it may worsen the condition.
2. Apply an antifungal plus steroid lotion like candid-b once daily on affected skin.
3. Take an antihistamine medication like levocetrizine for itching.
4. Other treatment options are oral antibiotics, antifungals taken only after consulting a dermatologist.

If problem persists then consult a dermatologist.

Thanks.
