What causes small pimple like sores on my scalp?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Irritation/infection: These are usually triggered in an irritated scalp when common skin germs enter the glands supplying the hair root. Daily washing with a mild unscented shampoo may help, but if this is extensive a doc visit may be needed to help identify the germ & select a prescription treatment.
