Seborrhea?: Around edges of hairline is more glands producing oil ( sebum ) , if inflamed or scratched - can be inflamed or painful. makes sure to clean your hair gently with soap , comb and massage while wet with your finger tips. Avoid picking on any scabs or dandruff. make sure have comfortable pillow . If any symptoms beyond this consider seeing your doctor.
