How Can Itchy Red Bumps On The Scalp Be Treated?
Itchy Red bumps on scalp, have had for months. When I had health care was prescribed medical shampoo, did no good. Have no health care now but had prescription for prednisone for inflamed bursa sac on knee. This cured red bumps until I finished prednisone, now red bumps are returning.

Hi,
I have gone through your complaints and it seems to be seborrheic dermatitis.
I would recommend you to use a ketoconazole shampoo twice weekly and take antihistaminic like tablet Levocetirizine once or twice daily depending on the intensity of itching.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Asmeet Kaur Sawhney, Dermatologist
