Whenever I eat spicy food, I experience itchiness/pruritus on my scalp and only on that area. Can somebody please explain this. I don't get rashes or experience pruritus anywhere else. It is specific to my scalp. Please help!!!

Dandruff,sun burn,seborrhoic dermatitis,psoriasis,hair dye,hair oil,hair cream, head lice could be the cause. Spicy food is not generally the cause if these are ruled out.

You won't find a doctor here. You'll need to visit an allergist.
Hot, spicy foods may activate sweating. The sweating might then cause itchy scalp, especially if you are fair-skinned, have a thick head of hair, or are prone to dandruff or scalp conditions. Dry air during winter can naturally cause dry skin and scalp.
