What Causes Tender And Bruised Feeling On Scalp?

Hi. Recently my scalp has been feeling very tender and bruised. I have long hair so I tend t tie it up away from my face time to time, but I never got this issue until now. It hurts at the top of the crown area and I ve also got little pimple like spots on my head that hurt to touch, just like a pimple, it pops. Not sure if this is anything serious. Thanks.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
From history it seems that there might be having some bacterial infection producing pimple like bumps and tenderness on scalp.
Take regular head bath with branded lotion.
Go for one antibiotic medicine course for 5-7 days.
Rule out dandruff and other parasite infection.
Ok and take care.
