There are approx. 38 varieties of scalp diseases such as seborrhea and psoriasis that cause the symptoms you describe. I would consult a doctor before seek over the counter help. In the meantime, do not scratch or pick the scabs. In doing so, you may cause more damage/injury.

There are a number of possibilities. She could have lice or a medical condition called alopecia or scabies or a different condition. Whatever the reason, she needs to see adoctor.

It could be a bacterial infection, allergies to the hair shampoo or conditioner or an early symptom of a more serious medical problem. Definitely make an appointment with a doctor.
