I have had a red itchy bump on my scalp for several months. saw a dermatologist about it and used a steroid spray but had no results. ?

Scalp lesion: The possibilities are infection, inflammation or cyst from the hair follicle or sweat gland. Hard to say without looking at it. If not responding to steroid may be a cyst. Go back to the dermatologist to look at it again
