WOW!!! Thanks so much for all your replies and shared experiences! Guess that pretty much answers the question of do skin problems go along with auto-immune "stuff"?

Don't think I mentioned that those scalp things just seem to appear when my MS is active. As others mentioned, I use Neutrogena T-Gel shampoo a few times and it goes away. If I use it all the time, it dries out my hair too much. As it is, the hairdresser I went to occasionally when still mobile, (who is in her 40's and has lupus) comes to my house once a week and washes it for me. By keeping it short and sleeping in my recliner, it doesn't get all 'mushed' up.

Thanks again everyone. Wish I could push the thanks key and have it work. Old webtv you know. This lousy disease doesn't give us a break anywhere, but just knowing I'm not alone makes life more tolerable.
