Blistering scalp H/A: May be psoriasis , or eczema or fungal Would follow up with dermatology as for psoriasis may need prescription medication. Psoriasis has been associated with migraines. There are shampoos that are suggested for psoriasis containing sulfur or coal tar or salicylic acid but would consult with a dermatologist first for a definitive diagnosis.
