Itchy scalp
I have never had a problem until I got pregnant, 28 weeks now and for the last few months in the exact same area my scalp has been itching so bad that I feel like my skin is raw there. Anyone else experiencing this and know how to deal?
I have been having this problem and my mom had the idea to use baby shampoo instead of my usual shampoo and it seems to be doing the trick!! Skin can be super sensitive during pregnancy and baby shampoo is very gentle. I was using a psoriasis shampoo and it wasn't working anymore!
You can get regular tGel or extra strength. I put my hair half up half down (mine is long) so I get it on my lower scalp (above my neck, on scalp behind my ears etc) and crown/top of my head. You really dont need it on your hair, just scalp so splitting my hair works best. Only wash it every two days.
Dr can prescribe clobetasol for itchy spots if it gets worse.
Water, sunshine and keeping stress low also helps a lot:) I hardly have issues anymore.

Thanks ladies! I've tried head and shoulders, I will try something stronger! It's painful!!
Haha sorry my spell check is off:)
TGel by Neutrogena is grest. It smells a little medical but ive gotten used to it and love it now. Its about 16$...
I have eczema and it works best. You could try had and shoulders too but I didnt like the consistency of it.
Good luck:)
Congratulations!

I would try lightly patting it instead of scratching it and look for shampoos for eczema or psoriasis. Though you probably don't have either they are made to help with itching. I hope this helps.
