Dermatologist,  's  Response
HI,

Thanks for your query on HCM.
As per your query, sweating can lead to itching on the scalp . Painful blisters on the scalp you are referring to could be folliculitis, or infection of the hair follicle.
This is due to decreased hygiene of the scalp in periods of excessive sweating.
Do you have excessive dandruff on the scalp?
Do you suffer from diabetes, or any other chronic condition requiring medication?
If I were your treating physician, I would advise you to wash your hair atleast every other day preferably with a medicated shampoo containing cetrimide.
An antibiotic lotion can be applied on the scalp twice a day, or a course of suitable antibiotics will help in suitably treating this condition.

Hope this helps!
You can revert back if you have any other question.
