Hi,

You seem to have scalp prurigo. There may be some cause. It may be dust,house dust,house dust mite, hair oil,shampoo, pollens..etc. Stress and worries may exacerbate or precipitate the scalp prurigo.Apply mild steroid lotion,like beze lotion..beclomethasone lotion. And take antihistaminics like levocetirizine or desloratidine along with steroids in tappering dose for few months. Cleanse the scalp with candid tv shampoo containing clotrimazole. You might improve. I hope you got my amswer.

Thanks.
