According to the symptoms you describe (swollen glands in the head, itchy scalp and headaches), you've been probably experiencing some type skin infection of the head, perhaps a bacterial one like impetigo, folliculitis, or carbuncle. Such an infection is difficult to describe or diagnose without seeing it. You may consult a dermatologist for more help.
