What could be a tiny, very itchy and burning spot on the scalp in the back of the head? it feels like a pimple. i currently have a boil on buttocks and afraid of spreading. what to do to heal?

There are several possible causes of a tiny, very itchy and burning spot on the scalp. One possibility is folliculitis, which is an inflammation of the hair follicles caused by bacteria or fungi. This condition can cause small, red bumps or white-headed pimples that can be itchy and painful. Another possibility is seborrheic dermatitis. Wash your hands carefully dont share towels.
