Brief Answer:
It can be head lice.

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thank you for asking HCM.

I have gone through your query. Your problem can be due to head lice. You can ask some one to look for it or comb and put on white paper and look for louse.
If it is lice then using pediculicide will be helpful. Permethrin lotion can be used for this. This can be applied and left it for 8 hours before washing. It can be repeated again after 9 days.

Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
