scalp itch

I've been diagnosed with RA and COPD.  I don't know if this has anything to do with either one but my scalp constantly itches.  No dandruff just itching.  I've tried several different kinds of dandruff shampoo but nothing helps.  Can anyone help me, it is driving me crazy.

I know it isn't dandruff or head lice.  I've had my scalp checked several times.  It didn't start itching until I was told I had RA a year and a half ago.  That's the thing I know.  Thanks for your help anyway.
