What are these red dots on my head and are they causing my crippling hair loss?

My hair has been falling out rapidly for the past year, I've had dandruff my whole life and nothing has cured it. I'm a 22 year old male and have no family history of male pattern baldness, in fact the men in my family all have extremely thick black hair, including my grandfathers. but i found these red sores on my scalp, what do you think it is? Seborrhoeic  Dermatitis ? Keep in mind hair loss is only at top of scalp around red spots but they are all over, some new some faded, help please, I can't go bald at 22. The sores are itchy too, but they look like very tiny red dots.

There is a large variety of things that can cause this, your best bet is to get to a doctor and let them know about the issue so they can pinpoint the cause and start addressing it.
