Irene you get major points for knowing that A) There is such a thing as a scalp doctor, and B) What they are called.
Anyway, the biggest thing to do is to stop causing the damage to your scalp, so that it has a chance to heal, and to keep the wounds clean and keep hair out of them.
You'll want to make sure that you are washing your hair with a mild soap and not rubbing really hard, beucase that will cause it to take longer to heal. Also don't do your hair up tight, like in braids. Also make sure that when you brush your hair you are pulling the scabs off the wounds.
You'll need to keep a close eye on them, your hair will accumulate all sorts of nasty stuff, and so it's easy for scalp wounds to become infected.
Irene's ideas of cutting your nails short or wearing gloves are very good, and it would be a good idea to do both of those until you have broken the habit.
AD
Bio Oil is not good on still open wounds, and vaseline is kinda like dumping motor oil in wounds (sorry Irene) however, and antibiotc cream will be alright.
