What Causes A Rash That Sores And Become Crusty Scabs?
I have a rash type issue on my scalp above the nape of my neck. It has been there for 4+ months. It gets inflammed and scabs over then seems to dry up and start to heal. Just when it feels back to normal it happens again. It itches like crazy though I try to resist. There have been a few bumps under the scalp that come and go. And when it is fully inflammed there is a fluid secretion of some type that then flakes and scabs up. Help

Hello,
Your symptoms could be suggestive of a local skin infection or psoriasis. I recommend consulting with a dermatologist for a physical exam. A skin biopsy may be needed.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
