Yelping When Scratching His Head

I'm starting to think i worry way too much about Benji, but this one really has started to make me worry a little. It's happen about twice within the last month or so. He'll be scracthing around his head and will yelp, not very loudly but loud enough that i notice it. Has he just scratched too much and made it tender or could it be something else?!
 
Hopefully he just scratched too hard and accidentally hurt himself. Maybe his nails need a trim?

I would have his ears checked by a vet for mites or infection. You can't always see the infection or mites from the outside.

If it gets worse and the vet can't find anything wrong with his ears I would watch closely for other possible CM/SM symptoms. It's uncommon in puppies but not impossible. My pup came to me at 12 weeks showing CM/SM symptoms. His earliest symptoms were neck scratching but before 6 months of age it progressed to scratching and pawing at his head & ears which occasionally caused yelping.
