A red scalp can be an indication of infected seborrhea or dermatitis or perhaps psoriasis. It can be an allergic reaction to shampoo, conditioner or soap products. It can also be a reaction to a medication or mixture of medications. It is not something you ignore and hope will go away on its own. The scalp is a very important part of the head and face. It has many functions believe it or not. See your general practitioner doctor or dermatologist soon.
