I am sorry for failing to answer, but I am very thankul to Allaah SWT, may he protect us from such mysterious problems as this. May he heal those who have such problems as this.
Looks like some sort of calcification.
Not a scooby really. I'd try leeches on it. Leeches are always cool.

A 14-year-old girl came to the hospital with her mother, stating that a small birthmark on the scalp had recently started growing rather rapidly. It was increasingly pruritic and caused the patient considerable emotional distress. She was otherwise healthy. On examination a large multilobulated, verrucous lesion was seen on the scalp. The findings were consistent with nevus sebaceus. These lesions have a predilection for the scalp and typically appear early in life as a solitary, hairless patch or small plaque. Often they do not cause problems until the patient reaches adolescence, as hormonal factors induce a verrucous or nodular change and the lesion grows in size, occasionally rather dramatically. Given the size and location of the lesion and the risk of malignant transformation, especially to basal-cell carcinoma, later in life, the patient was referred to plastic surgery for excision. The lesion was successfully excised, and histologic examination confirmed the diagnosis of nevus sebaceus of Jadassohn.

Al7mdlilah indeed for health.. this might look bad but it is fairly benignant even if undergoes dysplasia into basal cell ca. it stays local and barely metastasize, it just looks pretty bad.. thing about most groteque skin diseases is that they look pretty direful but you almost never die from them...

WHAT is the point of posting that on this forum? No offense but this is an islamic forum, not med or pre-med forum. I don't think we need that kind of stuff here for us to loose our breakfast/lunch over it.
