It would help if you posted a photo. Wyandottes naturally don't develop large combs, so their heads can look odd. But the area shouldn't be red and itchy looking.
The comb itself looks normal for a Wyandotte. However, are those yellowish bumps on the edge of the comb that I see? If so, then your pullet may have the dry form of Fowl Pox. Fowl Pox is viral disease carried by mosquitoes and flies. In its dry form, Fowl Pox causes lumps on the comb, face, and wattles. In its more severe wet form, Fowl Pox causes lesions and lumps on the inside of the mouth and respiratory tract, sometimes leading to suffocation. There is no treatment; it will run its course in 3-6 weeks. However, you can treat with a broad-spectrum antibiotic, like oxytetracycline or Tylan50, to prevent secondary infection--a much more serious problem.
Here is the photo. Anyone? Thanks so much in advance.
The comb looks normal to me. A Wyandottes comb is naturally small and flat. However, I think that I am seeing some small yellowish bumps on the front of the comb. She could have a mild case of Fowl Pox, which would irritate her and cause her to itch/scratch at her head..
