I just had a really bad itch on my head and i scratched until some skin came off and now im bleeding. worried?

Not to worry: There's nothing to worry about. Sometimes when we scratch too vigorously, we can scrape off some skin but that heals within a few days and everything is back to normal. No cause for concern.
