General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Dear Patient,
Thanks for your concern about your health.
Welcome to Health Care Magic.

Regardless of the diagnosis (the specific disease) that is causing the intolerable itching on your scalp, the fact remains that the sensation
of itching is caused by a natural chemical in your body called as Histamine.
Thus you need an anti histaminic drug. the itching will get lesser and lesser.
I would suggest you follow your dermatologists advice and voice this complaint and symptom, and ask him about anti histaminic medications like
Levocetrizine.

You are quite healthy, by the way, in all other aspects.

Feel free to post on these forums.
Take care.
