Why does my scalp itch so badly?

I'm getting my hair died tomorrow and I'm embarrassed of the scabs on my scalp? Why does it itch so bad?

• (Just saying, This is kinda gross. But I'm 100% serious, and i honestly don't know whats wrong with my head and I'm embarrassed.) I don't know whats wrong with my scalp but its getting out of hand. I have bad dandruff, but an extremely oily scalp at the same time. I've tried dandruff shampoo and all different types of hair and scalp repair products, ive tried washing my hair every day, every other day, only twice a week, but NOTHING seems to work. I've been checked for lice more times than I can count, and I've never found any traces of it. My scalp gets so itchy that I'll scratch it til it bleeds, and there are now bumps (They look like zits) that will randomly leak oil or even blood. I'll catch myself itching in my sleep or during the day. After i itch my scalp tingles and then itches again but worse. I'm getting my hair died tomorrow at a salon, and I'm so embarrassed of my scalp... What do you think is wrong with my scalp? I seriously need help, its getting totally out of control... Thanks..

• Answer:

  Go to the doctor. And you may want to hold off on getting your hair done. The chemicals can get in the wounds and irritate them more, or possibly cause infection.
