How to get rid of infected scab on scalp?

The back of my head always itches and when I brush my hair dead skin, pus, and sometimes blood is found. Someone looked and told me it looks like an infected scab and I’ve had it for over a month now but it’s not painful. I’m in the navy so medical is just a pain to go to, does anyone have any remedies?

Mild cases often benefit from medicated shampoo designed to treat the scalp and ease itching. Ingredients to look for in OTC medicated shampoos include salicylic acid and tar. If it is infected you will probably need antibiotics.
