Very Irritating scalp problems
by AnnaE, Jun 11, 2008 11:31PM
I have to locate a new dermatologist in town, so it will take me a few days to get to see one. I am having the most bothersome problem. I had it about 12 years ago also. Patches of scaliness that itch and burn badly turn up quickly on my scalp. They usually turn into hard bumps that hurt. They take a long time to heal. A week ago, I had 2=3 of them. Presently, I have about 24.
The dermatologist helped me the last time by prescribing Kenalog spray. Is ther anything I can do for relief, until I can get an appointment?
Thank you,
Itchy

It could be scalp psoriasis which are known to recur or it could be a fungal infection or eczema.
In any case they all respond to corticosteroids applied to the affected area.
So you could use Kenalog spray( Triamcinolone Acetonide Topical Aerosol USP)which is indicated for the relief of the inflammatory and pruritic i.e. itching manifestations of corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses.
You could use anti-histamines for itching.
