Hello Andrei
I'm more used to hearing: 'I need it like a hole in the head'.
A 'hole in the head' means 'a hole in the skull'. We prefer not to have one.
You would use 'I need it like a hole in the head' for an unwelcome obligation or favour or task.
It's quite a strong sentiment. You wouldn't use it of clothes: then you would say 'it doesn't (really) suit
