Hello,
From your description and your age, you may be suffering from a
dandruff condition. Hormonal changes with age may cause your scalp to get oilier or drier causing itching. Also, any hair dye or coloring products which you may be allergic to, even if they are natural dyes.
Do you see any rashes or bumps on your scalp?
I would advise you to use a dandruff shampoo for scalp such as Keto-B (
ketoconazole based) till it subsides and continues it once a week for maintenance. On other days you may use a mild shampoo.
Dont apply any hair products like gels, oil etc. For now, you may also take an antihistamine like levocet or
fexofenadine for the itching.
Keep a check if sun exposure makes it worse.
Given your age you can also check your sugar levels, liver and kidney function (general health check-up) if symptoms persist, after consulting a
dermatologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein,
General Surgeon
