Could be Excema, a treatable skin condition. Check with your doctor.

It could be a fungal or bacterial infection, an infestation of mites, an allergic reaction, etc. Because treatment differs depending on the cause, the best thing to do is to have your vet do a scraping of the scabs and identify what the cause is so treatment is correct. Wrong treatments applied can worsen these conditions, and what could be eradicated in a matter of a couple days can become a month or more long battle. What is interesting to note is that when someone finally resolves something like this after a month, they will advise you to use the same treatment and rave about how well it worked. You can use a magnifying glass to inspect the areas for presence of creepy crawlies, and get samples to show to your vet if you find any. Zip lock bags make good specimen containers. The only safe treatment I would advise, that won't do harm regardless of the cause, is to cleanse the sores and soften and remove the scabs with sterile isotonic saline from the drugstore. This will inhibit infection and won't irritate or damage healthy tissue. Beyond that, I advise you to have your vet determine correct treatment.

Excema or psosiasis

I think it's dryness. Try using a dandruff shampoo for healing scalps. Some of them smell decent and they should moisturize the dry skin. Also try not to scratch the dry spots, it makes them worse.
