What Causes Recurrent Itchiness In Scalp, Eye Brows And Body?
I frequently experience an itching/burning/stinging sensation in my hair follicles - mostly in eyebrows but on scalp and other areas of my body as well. When I extract the hair from the area where I m experiencing discomfort, the root is coated with a thick, moist, white/clear substance. The discomfort goes away immediately. Could this be some sort of infection?

Hi,
It is dandruff. Use a good ketoconazole shampoo and keep the scalp clean. Also use it on the eyebrows.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Ankit
