What Does An Itchy Rash On The Scalp Indicate?

Hello I have a rash that tarted on my scalp around 6 months ago. It started off as a lump very itchy with thick layer of skin. more patches appeared some of which have oily substance others are dry. This rash spread to left breast (underneath) and left hip the rash on these sites is red spots when the spots disappear brown patch left.Rash comes back bigger. Now has spread to right hip and a collection of cuts appeared on back with no apparent injury (this looks a bit like carpet burn) can you help?
