Most of the time when women loose hair it has something to do with hormones. If you are older over 40 the maybe the change of life younger if you are on birth control that can make hair fall out. But picking at your scalp can make scars and the hair may not grow back. if they are round spots like the size of a nickel this could be stress hair loss. Most of the time this will grow back. The spots seem to move around on your head when you have this. Talk to your Dr about it before it is all gone.

other than stopping the bad habit of picking at my scalp.....is there anything that i could use to stop the scars from forming?
any products or treatments?

You could try a tea tree shampoo. And something to stop the damage from the flat iron. Canopy is good from Nexus or Redkin has one I forgot the name of it.
Picking your head maybe a habit you just have to break. I just to twist my hair when I was driving, did not even think about it. it started to break my hair. My hand would just go up with much thinking about it. I just started to catch my self and stopped.
