Kindly upload some pictures for review

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to 'Ask A Doctor' service.

I have reviewed your query. I think that perhaps you have Actinic Keratosis on your scalp. They present as red, crusty/ scaly, asymptomatic growths on sun-exposed skin.

I'd request you to kindly upload/attach a few Images of the affected area in "Reports Section" so that I am able to guide you better.

Take care.
Hope to assist you further once I get the pictures.

Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
