I have not had acne in many many years, and never near the scalp -- so I'm entirely clueless as to what's going on.

I've been experiencing hair loss but it was pretty minor (maybe norwood 2 w/ minor frontal/temple recession), and in 2013 it ramped up big time really quickly. I started to noticed bumps on my head and discolored areas/patches of skin on the scalp. I've attached two pictures. I am hoping to see a dermatologist in a month or so but in the meanwhile if anyone has any idea what's going on please let me know. :\

I've tried using essential oils, conditioners (natural and big name brands), and all sorts of other stuff... I tried to circle areas of discoloration in the pictures. I'm thinking of trying out salicylic acid 30% and/or glycolic acid 40% on my scalp (not at the same time) to see if it helps remove the discolored skin/bumps. I was thinking it maybe is fungal in nature but I tried many different essential oils/other oils which are antifungal and anti-a lot of other stuff so I don't think it is. I do have ketocanozle cream 2% on hand which i could use but I'm pretty doubtful this is fungal related at the moment.
