Scabs on the scalp can be caused by various factors, including skin conditions like psoriasis, eczema, or seborrheic dermatitis, which lead to inflammation and flaking. Injuries or trauma to the scalp, such as scratching or hair pulling, can also result in scabbing as the skin heals. Additionally, infections, such as fungal or bacterial infections, might contribute to scab formation. Allergic reactions to hair products or other irritants can further aggravate the scalp and lead to scabs.
Scalp scabs often result from irritation, infection, or skin conditions like psoriasis or eczema. They can begin as pimples or sores, and scratching can exacerbate the problem by introducing bacteria and causing inflammation. To treat scalp scabs, avoid scratching, keep the scalp clean, and consider using medicated shampoos or topical treatments. If the condition persists, consult a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

I do not know but I do it a lot, I do not think it is serious and I do not think it has a name.
It's not advisable to dye your hair if you have scabs on your scalp. The chemicals in hair dye can irritate open wounds, potentially leading to infection or further irritation. It's best to wait until your scalp has healed completely before applying any dye. If you have concerns about scalp health, consider consulting a dermatologist.

No it does not cause cancer. Cancer is the uncontrolled abnormal growth of cells. Picking scabs causes scars.
The scalp could be red from rosacea or an allergy to shampoo.
yes in fact they do.. you may notice there are small black dots on the scalp if you scratched your scalp and looked under the nail you may see little black dots.. but do NT confuse this with scabs
Poor hygiene?
