Itchy Pus Filled Bites On The Back. Spreading To The Neck. What Are These?

I HAVE HAD THESE BITES AT THE BACK OF THE NECK AND ON MY SCALP FOR OVER A WEEK NOW. THEY ARE VERY ITCHY AND SEEMED TO BE FILLED WITH PUS. I CANNOT SEE THEM SINCE THEY ARE AT THE BACK OF THE NECK AND ON THE SCALP. I NOTICED THE BITES ON THE SCALP ONE MORNING WHEN I WOKE UP AND FOUND THAT I HAD A VERY ITCHY SCALP. A FEW DAYS LATER THE BITES SEEMED TO HAVE SPREAD DOWN ON TO MY NECK. PLEASE ADVISE.
