Brief Answer:
Need more information.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to HCM,

Clobenate-GM cream contains three different ingredients,anti-fungal (Miconazole),anti-bacterial (Neomycin) and steroid (Clobetasol) which can be helpful for your itching scalp.

But the first thing is that, we should find out the underlying cause of your itching over back of head under hair.

For that let me provide some more information,

Since how many days you are having itching?
Is itching mild or severe?
Is there any other symptom apart from itching like burning or pain?

Can provide me the picture of your scalp? Since the single look at the itchy area may be helpful to figure out the underlying cause.

Please get back to me with these answers.

Regards,

Dr.Sandip kabra

Thanks Doctor. From few days only itching is happening and it is mild not several. Redness is there..Is this can be happen due to hot weather and sweat?

Also I have applied lobate GM. Can be this suitable?

Brief Answer:
You can try lobate GM.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome again,

It may occur in hot weather or due to sweat and you can try this lobate GM cream as it may be due to fungal infection or scalp eczema.

However,the single look at the itchy scalp may give the exact diagnosis.
