Possible Causes. Bumps on the scalp can be caused by a skin condition called seborrheic dermatitis. According to the MedlinePlus website, this illness occurs due to the yeast malassezia and an excess production of oil on the skin. Triggers may include stress, infrequent bathing, alcohol-containing lotions and obesity.
Other neurological conditions can also cause scalp pain. Occipital neuralgia causes sudden, severe, stabbing pain in the back of the head near the neck. It may be the result of past trauma in some instances. Trigeminal neuralgia causes similar sensations in the face and front half of the scalp. Tumors of the tissues that cover the brain, called meningiomas, are a rare cause of intermittent scalp and facial pain. Trauma and Hair Loss.
