I have little things on my head and i keep itching them?

they r lyke scabs and i keep itching them does any body no how 2 get rid of them
Answer:
It may be eczema. Try putting a mixture of witch hazel, tea tree oil and lemon juice on them. This will dry them up and also eliminate any bacteria. Stop scratching too! If the problem is that they are dry, and this is why they might itch, try aloe. It is best if the aloe is pure and not mixed with alcohol. This will also help if it is eczema. As someone above suggested it may be lice, if that's the case, cover your head in mayo and a plastic bag and let it sit for a half hour... that'll kill them!
this sounds like it may be folliculitis or seborrhic dermatitis ... you need to buy a shampoo that is for dandruff and depending on whether your hair/scalp is oily or dry, choose a shampoo containing pyrithione zinc (usually better for dry hair, and many contain all-in-one conditioners) or one with salicylic acid (2% to 3%) for oily hair. The scabs are likely just folliculitis (infection and inflammation of hair shaft) due to the underlying seborrhic dermatitis. Regular use of the shampoo will help prevent recurrence. You can treat the scabs that are there with small amounts of antibioitic cream or ointment at night to get rid of the isolated spots. If they don't go away in a few days after changing shampoo and using the antibiotic ointment/cream, then go see a doctor.
Not to scare you but it may be lice. Lice cause bumps that look like bug bites because they are parasites. Look for little white eggs or nits.
they itch therefore you scratch. You cant Itch an Itch but you can scratch.
Try a ZNP bar to shampoo your hair with. I know using a bar to get your shampoo is strange but it works! This is for Seboric Dermatitis. Go to a skin doc also.
