Hi,
Itchy and scaly bumps on hair can occur due to dandruff or seborrheic dermatitis. Both these conditions can cause increased oil and sebum which irritates the scalp and cause scaling and flaking on hairline. Washing the hair every other day with ketoconazole and zinc pyrithrone lotion or shampoo is essential.These can also be applied on the shoulder and back and washed after 5 minutes.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
