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.
This type of dermatitis causes the overproduction of oil on the scalp and irritates the scalp with the malessizia yeast fungus. The excess oil and the dandruff from the skin irritation clump together to form hard bumps on the scalp.
