breakouts/scabs

I've been noticing a lot more acne all over my neck, but mainly the front (super visble) and right around my hairline on the back. Also been getting a lot of weird, random "scabs" all over my scalp. Never had these problems before pregnancy. I know acne is normal, but i haven't gotten any on my face. Is any of this normal? More concerned about the "scabs", because i dont scratch my head much, but when i do, i find these. Any advice is welcome. Thanks!

I used dandruff shampoo in middle school, it just irritates my scalp even more :( and showering/washing my hair everyday also irritates my scalp :/

It is normal to get acne on your neck, chest, or even back. I had some on the back of my neck, chest, and upper back.  As for the scabs I'm not sure but try usig head and shoulders or something similar to that to see if it goes away but try not to scratch then.
