What Could The Feeling Of Having White, Sticky Bugs On Head With Sores On Head Indicate?

I feel like bugs are in my hair. they are white and stick to anything it touches. also I have a sore on my head, in the middle it is soft. sometimes, I think I am picking a scab but it s not. it will literally try to attach itself back to the scalp. when I pull it out, it doesn t move but has something like legs or teeth that would go into the scalp.

General & Family Physician Dr. Veera Raghava Rao Buddha.'s  Response
Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
As you describe it appears to be the animal louse, would have come from the dog, or other pets.
I advise you to consult a dermatologist for diagnosis and treatment.
I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms permethrine, soap, and lotion, for head wash, and bath.
Take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts,and
protein rich foods to hasten the recovery.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
