A member asked:
When i scratch my scalp it easily burns and gets a cut and then later gets scabs which was never an issue before.. is there cause for concern for health issues like in the blood etc ?

I wouldn't worry about blood clots. Do you have a scalp issue such as psoriasis,dandruff or infections of hair follicles ? You may have to consult a dermatologist to check for scalp pathology. Any appropriate tests will be ordered.
