Dermatologist,  's  Response
Itching on the scalp most commonly occurs due to seborrheic dermatitis which is also commonly known as dandruff. You can try ketoconazole shampoos twice a week to reduce seborrheic dermatitis. Oral antihistamines like fexofenadine may also be used for symptomatic relief after consulting your dermatologist. Regards.
