Why Do Red Spots Develop On Scalp?
I have a scratchy/sensitive scalp with some red spots. I also had a really bad headache on Saturday about a week after I noticed my scalp was sore. I have also noticed that behind my left year my gland seems swollen. I should also mention this all seems to be on my left side of my scalp and forehead. I am starting to notice it moving down my lefts side forehead.

Hi,
It may be scalp prurigo with secondary bacterial infection. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. I would recommend you to take a course of antibiotic and antiinflammatory drugs under doctor's supervision. If there is itching,take antihistaminics for long time.
Hope this helps.
