How do I stop my scalp from itching? it itches all the time?

Question

My head itches so much. I thought it might be my allergies, but now and then, I get little bumps. My itching..into the late hours in th night...is annoying my boyfriend. I have tried everything. Please help.

Answer 1

i had the same problem for more than a year. i went to my dermatologist and he made me cut out most of the products i used on my hair and body as well as laundry detergents and fabric softeners. finally, i went to an allergist and it turns out it was a food allergy....wheat, to be exact. one slice of bread and i itch for days, especially on the scalp, and i'd get small bumps on my scalp. now, i use the head & shoulders shampoo in the navy blue bottle when i get itchy, and antihistamines to control the response. it has made a huge difference in my life. try benadryl tablets, but it might make you drowsy, so use it cautiously. also, if the itching is accompanied by a fever, it definitely suggests an allergy. good luck.

Are you using any new products in the summer? You may be allergic to something. You may be getting too much sun on your head... or you are wearing too tight of a hat... or you have a skin buildup. Maybe use a dandruff clearing treatment (not shampoo, comes in a small bottle in the shampoo aisle) once a week to see if that helps. Also, stop itching.. that just makes the itch worse. You may need to see a doctor if it doesn't improve soon.

I have the same problem. I have allergies too. But Its a combo. I have very dry skin, I live in a dry climate, and I need to use special shampoo & conditioner. 1. Use hypoallergenic products, these pantene's and junk give me the itchy bumps. 2. Get a good leave in conditioner, if you can find one, I can't put it on my scalp though, but it does help i don't know how. 3. Wash hair every couple days in luke warm water, never hot. Don't wash too much for dryness, or too little so you get itchy dry skin build-up. 4.Hydrate from the inside with lots of fluids. 5. Eat good. 6. Use a humidifier. 7. Very important, leave the conditioner on your head for at least five minutes when your in the shower before rinsing.

If you straighten your hair you could be allergic to the relaxing solution. If you have extensions and don't keep your scalp clean enough you could be developing scalp dermatitis. An over the counter remedy for scalp itch is scalpicin. Stress can cause scalp itch.

You probably have a dry scalp, and for that, it could be as simple as changing your shampoo and conditioner. SunSilk hydro therapy (It's a pink bottle) is actually one brand REALLY good for that. If changing shampoo and conditioner doesn't work, there are various oils you can buy for dry scalps... it is cheaper to try changing those first however. I hope you figure out something that works. Have an awesome day! =)

Go to the drug store and get a couple botles of Scalpicin, if that stuff does not work, then you may want to go see a Dr. I had the same thing, itchy scalp, bumps and flaky and now it is perfect. I was also told that I was not eating enough fat. hahahahaha... I thought we were supposed to stay away from fat, but our body needs some to lubricate our joints and our skin... go figure..

good luck
