I have the same symptoms, itchy scalp, back of my neck and rashes appear where I itch and the top of my ear. I had a sinus infection but the itching started before I even took the meds. I definitely do not have lice. I haven't found anybody online that had the same exact symptoms as mine. If anyone can share the same experience and share some remedies.

Thank you.

To anyone who is still having the itching on the back of their head, neck, or face..(and it's not lice), go to the store and get some pine tar shampoo!! It works!!!

My daughter has been dealing with this itchy scalp and rash on her neck sense January, we went to our third doctor, the dermatologist and they said it is a strep infection.  I recommend you ask your doctor to check for strep as she did not have a sore throat at any time to indicate that she had strep.

I have the same exact issue with the scalp neck and behind my ears. I started using KitiKiti product and have already felt relieve. I'll keep you posted on results.
