Hello,
One of the causes of soft bumps in the head can be folliculitis which is an infection of the hair follicle. I suggest to consult a dermatologist for a physical examination or send a photo here. If the diagnosis is confirmed, I suggest using an antibiotic cream for local application such as Neosporin cream.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
