Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
There are many medical conditions that cause itchy blister on scalp.
It can be:
-a reaction to one of the medication that you are taking
-a viral infection such as chickenpox
-an infection of the hair follicles
I suggest you to do a physical examination to confirm the diagnosis.
Meanwhile you can use antihistamines to relieve the itching.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
