What Causes Pus To Come Out On Scratching Dry Scalp?

Hi, im 14 and i think ive cut my head by scratching due to dry scalp in my sleep and today when i woke up i felt the top of my head and my hair around where i think i scratched while brushing my hair and it was sticky and stuck together and hard and all at the same time. i was curious and i though whats that? i let it slide for the day and then when i touched it later trying to put my hair to the side i noticed it still oozing and sticky and keeping my hair stuck together in some places. I was wondering is this normal for a cut and is it puss coming from the scabs/scratches or is it something i should check out?
