A member asked:

I noticed my scalp sometimes smells sour/sweaty. also at the back of my scalp there are three bumps which feel very sore. what should i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Folliculitis: I would use a shampoo that kills micro-organisms, such as Head & Shoulders zinc pyrithione shampoo. This might fight odor, and it could also help prevent the inflamed follicles ("folliculitis") that is likely causing the bumps on the scalp.
