Without seeing these sores, it is hard to say what it is....but I think it is time to have a vet check her out. Sores on her head does not sound like it is from fleas, though...typically you see areas where they can easily scratch and/or bite.
If she has irritation any where else.......often when they have fleas and start scratching they get infections...the most common one being staph and it spreads all over them. It is not the horrible staph you hear about, BUT it does need oral medication (antibiotics) to get rid of.
