Itchy Scalp

[AmandaMGibbs13]

The last few weeks my scalp his been itching something awful, it is centered around the crown. I don't have dandruff and dandruff shampoo makes it worse. I have taken to washing my hair once a week because it itches so badly. The itching is making my head hurt. Please help.

Go to the doctor to make sure you don't have lice.

Hello,
The cause of itchy scalp can be also due to hypothyroidism, male pattern alopecia, stress, anxiety and taking certain medications. Consult your doctor and get evaluated .
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.

IDK perhaps some kind of eczema or psoriasis..if you have a good md perhaps they can help otherwise dermatologist are excellent a these things..

good luck.  oh and perhaps look up a natural remedy it may give relief until you get to a doc... i think i read about recommendations of some sort of tea bag..green tea or camomile for rashes?
