Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hi, scalp itching is a sign of several skin affections like Psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis. The first thing you have to do is stop scrathing because you can cause an infection. Psoriasis may bleed when you scratch. But seborrheic dermatitis can as well if you do a hard scratch...So, you could try some Coal tar shampoo two or three times a week, but, if you do not feel better in about a month, visit a Dermatologist.
