I have this wound in my hair and it's really painful and itchy. What should I do with it just leave it alone or put something on in?

You need to disinfect it with rubbing alcohol and allow it to scab, don't pick at it or try to bandage it. itchy is actually a good thing, that means it is healing, do not itch it though lol.

Well how deep is it? if it is really deep the follicles could be damaged but you are probably ok.

You just want to keep it from getting infected since if you have to go to the hospital they will most likely cut/shave your hair to properly clean and bandage it :-(

Yeah your going to need to try and not disturb that area do that you can get it to heal. It sounds like it could use a real through cleaning. make a saline solution by boiling water and adding a large amount of salt, wait for it to cool a bit and then pour it over the wound to flush it out. then you can softly clean of the salt with fresh water and then pat the wound with alcohol.

Also, once it scabs try not to get the scab wet, I know its hard but a wet scab can very easily get pealed off :-\

That always happens to me it's usually when you scratch your head to hard or the brush is irritating your head so I suggest clean with some rubbing alcohol and put a band aid before you sleep the important part is to just not pick at it more hope I could help ;D
