What Causes Severe Itching Sensation In Scalp?

When I moved to Florida a few years ago, after the very first time that I showered and washed my hair, my scalp started to itch like crazy. That has continued. I have no rash, or psoriasis or dandruff. My scalp just itches a lot all day long. What can it mean? What do I do to stop the itching. It s very annoying and I scratch it a lot. It has been like that only since I moved to Florida. Never before and I lived in New Jersey and California before I came to Florida.

Hi.can understand your concern.As per your query it seems that you're having dermatitis in scalp.It may be due to any change in shampoo or can also occur due to frequent exposure to pollution..Do not worry .Apply selenium sulphide shampoo like selsun.Apply it to your scalp all over with your fingers and leave for 5 to 10 minutes ,then rinse thoroughly..Rinse the hair properly so that no soap is left.You can use this shampoo once or twice a week.Take tab Allegra once a day....Avoid using due or perming you hair for few months .I hope the information helps you.Take care.
