Brief Answer:
Chicken pox management
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
I have gone through your history and understand you are having persistent itching on your scalp.
I would advise you not to apply neem paste ad this itself may irritate the skin and cause itching.
You could apply a calamine based lotion ( e.g- Calosoft lotion) multiple times on the spots on the scalp.
You could also apply coconut oil as it has anti-inflammatory properties.
You could also take antihistamine like Levocetrizine 5 mg at bedtime for 5-7 days to get relief from itching.
Hope this helps you.
Regards,
Dr. Johny Chacko
