What Causes Itching Sores On Scalp While Using Meth?

My 38 yr old son has been an off and on, mostly on, meth user for years.

He has develops severe, pain, itching and sores on his scalp.

In the past, while tweaking, he has used various tools to dig at the sores.

He has been off the Meth for one month now and complains continously about the pain in his scalp. He says they are ingrown hairs, but I suspect the past Meth use. Can you help out with any suggestions?

Could a dermatologist possibly help or just time away from Meth?
