You’re a scab formerly on his head and he tore it off and of course the wound itches a little.

It’s a match. Not a couple match but like a fire match. When you first use a fire match it is red on it’s head scratch it’s head and fire is created then burning the match head making it black.
Therefore the answer is,
Matches

A “cap” that we used to use with a cap pistol! They come in rolls – treat one off & scratch it, or hit it with a hammer, & it turns black from being popped & burned. Same principle as striking a match.

The answer is match. When the match isn’t used, the tip is red, and when it is used the tip is black because it is burnt.

There are different colored match tops! So it’s not accurate.
