Scaldhead
Scaldhead — a sore, scaly affliction of the scalp — often touches uneasiness over the sickness or absence of someone near, or your own illness if it's on you. The dream may ask where a worry about someone close, or your own health, is festering at the surface, and whether the visible affliction reflects a deeper unease to be tended.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for scaldhead, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To see any one with a scaldhead in your dreams, there will be uneasiness felt over the sickness or absence of some one near to you.
If you dream that your own head is thus afflicted, you are in danger of personal illness or accidents.
