Scalp: The bumps in your scalp may be insect bites or inflamed areas from mild infection. If you continue to find insects in your hair see a dermatologist for diagnosis and treatment. Sanitize your comb and hair brush. Wash your hair with a mild soap only. Apply warm applications to the tender scalp bumps and see your physician if they persist or worsen or if signs of scalp inflammation spread.
