Scalp rash?

Does anyone else get a red, irritated scalp with AA? I have gone from total hair loss on my scalp to some fuzzy patches growing now, but definitely not all over. But along with it, my scalp is horribly red and quite irritated. I wear a vacuum wig and that is probably not helping but there's no way I'm going without it, especially to work! I have tried mild cortisone cream at night and that seemed to help a bit, but it's now come back again. This has never happened before and I have been dealing with AA for a while now. I'm at a loss for what to do! Has anyone else had an experience like this?

YES! I think mine is ingrown hairs because mine become bumps that are red and itchy and painful. My doctor also gave me a steriod to treat it with. It kind of helps, less red anyways.
