Painful, itchy scalp...please help!!!

I feel  that I want to cry of pain and I do not want to go through with much suffer. I don't know if I have nits on my hair because my scalp itches once a day and I don't know what it is.

They make a shampoo for itchy scalp.  Try that and see if it helps.

Hello,
It can be due to head lice or folliculitis scalp. Wash the Clothing, bedding, and towels in hot water and dry them in sun after machine drying them. Topical permethrin or Lindane cream may be needed which are available by prescription only.

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 dermatologist. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
