Suggest Remedies For Large Itchy Knots On The Scalp

I have large knots on my scalp that are not soft or watery or rash-like. They are more like bulges on my skull. They itch. This is the third time I ve had this. First time I had to go to emergency room for an injection. Three weeks ago I took a course of prednisone and they went away. Today they re back.
