Hi,

First of all it's sad to know what you had been going through lately.

Based on the history you have shared, you should get it reviewed by a dermatologist as this scalp can be a psoriatic patch or Ectopic dermatitis.

Don't scratch it like that, as it can have capillaries in its bed and will cause bleeding and exposure to infection.

For the time is a combination of topical steroid and antibiotics like fusidic acid may be helpful.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
