Hello Doctor,
1) I guess these cysts are very minor such that they won't be captured in a Camera.
I feel like a little sweet pain everywhere on my scalp when i move my hand over my head.
2) No indigestion.
3) Normal Head and Shoulder, which I have been using for longer.
I guess these will automatically go. But was just curious to know what causes these to occur?
Thanks.

Brief Answer:
Stop current shampoo. Consult with dermatologist.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for response with additional response.
According to your given information, above condition may be related with lice infestation, bacterial or fungal infection, dandruff, pollution from daily life, small cutaneous cyst (like sebaceous cyst etc).
I suggest you to consult with local dermatologist for clinical examination of the case (NOT possible from web) and proper management.
Stop using Head & Shoulder shampoo. It has some chemical agents that can trigger your condition more often.
Instead, I can suggest to use SELSUN or SELSUN BLUE MEDICATED shampoo (TWICE in a week) and apply DIPROVATE PLUS lotion (ONCE in alternate day) at bed time. It will be more worthwhile in your case.
Hope, I have answered your query. Kindly, close the discussion.
All the best and good luck.
