Hi,

Itching is a common symptoms of the skull which is followed by loss of hair. There are many causes of itching.

1. Simple lack of cleaning
2. Fungal infection dandruffs, ring worms
3. High levels of testosterone in men leading baldness

Treatment:

1. Cleaning well using soap/ shampoo can lead to reduced itching.
2. Taking drugs mainly anti-fungal or topical application such as Ketaconaxole. Grusefulfin. BBE. There is no remedy for high levels of testosterone. If no improvement visit your dermatologist.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
