What Causes A Scab Like Formation On The Scalp?

At the crown of my scalp I have white scab like irritation. The scabs come off with almost no effort and it s very sticky under it. Sometimes it does bleed a drop of blood. Usually goes away after shower, and reappears hours later. What is it and how can I treat it?
