Thanks for writing to the forum!
This could be a case of seborrheic dermatitis. There is no cure as such, but it can be controlled by medicated shampoos and lotions. Psoriasis too should be ruled out and so also contact dermatitis to shampoos, oils, soaps etc
A tissue biopsy of the scab and underlying tissue may be required to reach a diagnosis.
Hope this helps. Please consult a skin specialist. Do let me know if there is any thing else and keep me posted. Take care!
