Scalp bumps that will not go away. itchy, painful. how to get rid of them?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Many possibilitites: You may have to see a doctor to get a proper diagnosis. Painful bumps may be infected. Itchy areas in the scalp can be psoriasis. Vit d oil topically applied to bumps might be helpful if it is pure vit d in medium chain triglyceride.
