Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having some infection on your scalp giving rise this problem.
There might be having possibilities of dandruff, sebohrric dermatitis, fungal infection etc.
Unless you go for treatment, you will get this problem.
consult dermatologist and get examined.
Ok and take care.
