    It's probably folliculitis, inflammation of the hair follicles, the little bulb that surrounds the base of a hair under the skin. It's often either a staph infection (bacterial) or fungus. But on the scalp, it's more often staph. That means you have to see a doctor for either antibiotics or anti-fungal treatment. You can try dousing your hair with anti-bacterial hand soap, but it might not be enough. Rinse well whatever shampoo or soap you use, always, and let air circulate to your scalp every day. I don't know what kind of hats you were wearing or how many hours a day, but a too tight hat isn't good, or one that is never cleaned.
