What Causes Small Sores Turned Into Scab On The Scalp?

My husband, a 62yo WM has experienced small sores on his scalp. They look like tiny scrapes, about the size of the end of my smallest fingernail. He doesn t notice them until they scab over and his comb catches them. They occur one at a time, and it has happened about 6 times over the past year. He is not bald.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, seborrheic condition of scalp could be the reason, actually all the skin lesion demands the clinical examination for proper diagnosis because it is the art of looking for the doctor for diagnosis, some good hygiene could cure the lesions hope this information helps.
I find this answer helpful
