Suggest Remedies For Painful And Bleeding Scabs On The Scalp

Hi I m 16 years old. Lately I ve been getting scabs on my scalp and whenever I pick at it or scratch it, it bleeds and gets deeper and it hurts. I ve been dealing with this for 5 months now and it has officially gotten worse and I don t know what to do to treat it. I went to the hair dresser and she said that she couldn t even dye my hair because of it.
