Possible: Scalp acne or seborrheic dermatitis are other possibilities. Have you tried any over the counter shampoos? Neutrogena T/sal shampoo would be a good start. Make sure you follow the instructions properly. If no response in couple of weeks would recommend to see a dermatologist for an exam and further guidance.

See doctor.: It sounds as if it could be an infection. You should see your primary care physician or a dermatologist.

Scalp scaling: Not all scalp scaling is due to psoriasis. Pain and ooze suggests infection. See your doctor for assessment.
