Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic

Our empathies are with you...
Lesions on the scalp usually have no relation to events inside the skull.
Better get it examined by a General Surgeon or Dermatologist – for proper diagnosis and appropriate management
The violent behaviour is likely to benefit form Psychotropic medicines – the drug(s) and dose have to be tailored to the individual / frequent physician visits, patience and perseverance will pay rich dividends...

Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
