Suggest Treatment For Tender Spots On Scalp
I have two spots on my scalp which started as what felt like i had bumped my head on something. There is a spot on each knot which is raised and tender. There is a spot in each spot which is slightly red but does not have a head. The spots are sensitive to touch.

The possible diagnosis of the condition based on the description of the lesions is scalp folliculitis.You might need to apply a topical antibacterial cream like mupirocin over the affected area. Oral antibiotic tablets like Doxycycline may also help.Consult your dermatologist regarding the above mentioned therapy. Regards
