How To Heal Scalp And Neck Itch In A 10 Years Old Child?
My daughter is 10 yrs old, she has long thick curly hair. She has recently been scratching her scalp and neck, so much that it is starting to break the skin. I looked for lice...none. Also, no dandruff. She does only comb her hair after washing it (every 3 days in winter). I'm wondering if its a buildup of dead skin. I'm looking for either home remedies or a anti itch shampoo that works. Any ideas?
Hi Welcome to Healthcare-Magic Greetings of the day
It could still possibly be dandruff that is seborrhoeic dermatitis which is not visible. Single application of Ketoconazole which is an antifungal based shampoo may do wonders and is definitely worth giving a try.
Take care
