I have what feels to be a scab on the top of my head. every other day or so i pick it off. it does not hurt and has been reoccurring for some time?

PICKED SCAB ON SCALP: FIRST OF ALL, STOP PICKING! NEXT, SEE YOUR PCP OR A DERMATOLOGIST. THERE IS NO WAY OF TELLING WITHOUT ACTUALLY SEEING YOUR SCALP. BUT ABOVE ALL: STOP YOUR PICKING!
