With that pattern of symptoms, I suspect your scalp has been invaded by either fungal or bacterial germs. I would go to your doc or a dermatologist for assessment so a correct plan of treatment can be defined before you scar the area.

Your problem could be a form of chemical irritation caused by hair care products or it could be an infection around the hair follicle. There also is a type of chronic non-infectious folliculitis called Peri-folliculitis Capitis Abscedens et Suffodiens (also called dissecting cellulitis). It is a chronic inflammatory condition that requires medical treatments sooner rather than later.
