What Causes Continuous Nose Rubbing And Head Scratching?
My 15 year old son is always rubbing at his nose. If his not rubbing his nose his always scratching at his head. I have several times went through his hair looking for anything that might be causing that but have never found anything. Could he have some sort of an allergy to something? Don t know what to do to keep his hands from constantly touching his face or head.

Hi...I feel that this could be more of a habit disorder than something going on the nose or scalp. If this has started recently and going off then we can think about allergy. But if he is doing it all the time in his awake state, then it could be a habit disorder.
