What are the common reasons for scalp redness and pain? (photos)

rosie_61
This is a follow-up question. I have read about scarring alopecias being a reason for red scalp with pain and hairloss? Are there other possible reasons? I had a period of hair loss in June but hair loss has normalized but scalp is red and tender. I will be having a biopsy and am very worried about the prognoses.
