SORE SPOT ON SCALP: This sounds as if it could be shingles. See a dermatologist or your family doctor as quickly as possible. It also be an infected cyst. In any case see a doctor!

Fungal infection: A tender itchy swelling on the scalp that is new would likely be a fungal scalp infetion or tinea capitis. This needs oral antifungal treatment. A cyst or even and abscess could be possible. Time to see someone to check it out.
