Scabs on scalp: First DO NOT pick at them. Sometimes this could be why, if they have been there a long time, they have not healed. Second, there is a reason you have them in the first place. Best to have them examined by your doctor. All rashes are best diagnosed by inspection by a professional. He or she has probably seen them before and and can prescribe the best treatment. I hope this helps.
