I have an extremely itchy head and I have no idea what it's from. I don't have lice, we already checked, and I don't have dandruff either. I was thinking it could be hair re-growth? I lost a LOT of hair from medication I was taking so maybe it could be hair growing back and my scalp is stimulated so it's itchy? Help....please

Sorry can't tell you what it's from, could just be dry skin. Try a shampoo with Tea Tree Oil. It really helps get rid of the itch.

I think it is the opposite, you scalp is itchy when it falls out. I have itchy scalp too and I have been loosing more hair than normal. The scalp dries out and then the root dies. You need to get more moisture to the root and shaft of the hair.
None of the standard over-the-counter shampoos worked for me. I have had some relief with this:
Curetage Products, they sell a kit online and it helps alot.

have someone look & see if you have red patchy spots on your scalp you might have psoriasis, I do & my head itches all the time, if not treated
