It looks like the headline is incomplete, but the topic is itchy scalp. Here’s a clear explanation of the main causes of scalp itching and what can trigger it:
1. Dandruff (Seborrheic Dermatitis)
- Flaky, itchy scalp with white or yellow scales.
- Often caused by excess oil or yeast on the scalp.
2. Dry Scalp
- Flakes may be smaller and less oily than dandruff.
- Often worsens in cold, dry weather or with harsh shampoos.
3. Scalp Psoriasis
- Red, raised patches with silvery scales.
- Can be itchy or painful, often hereditary.
4. Allergic Reactions
- Hair products, dyes, shampoos, or conditioners can trigger itching.
- Look for new products that coincide with flare-ups.
5. Lice or Other Parasites
- Tiny bugs or eggs can cause intense itching, especially behind ears or at the nape.
6. Fungal Infections
- Ringworm (tinea capitis) can cause scaly patches, hair loss, and itchiness.
7. Stress or Hormonal Changes
- Stress, fatigue, or hormonal shifts can worsen scalp sensitivity or dryness.
💡 Tips for Relief:
- Use a mild, medicated shampoo if dandruff or psoriasis is suspected.
- Avoid scratching, which can worsen irritation or cause infection.
- Moisturize the scalp if dryness is the main issue.
- Consult a dermatologist if itching is persistent, severe, or accompanied by hair loss or sores.
