Why Do I Have an Itchy Scalp?
Treatment for your itchy scalp depends on its cause.
Why is my head itching so badly
For example, dandruff is treated through frequent hair washing with special topical agents. Each scalp medication works in a unique way, such as reducing oil on the scalp or killing fungus.
Some medications that might be used to treat dandruff include:
- antifungal creams
- keratolytics, such as salicylic acid or coal tar
- pyrithione zinc
- topical steroids
Head lice requires medical treatments, such as washing the hair with a pediculicide or using a medicine that kills lice.
A fine-tooth comb can remove lice eggs (nits) while the medication kills active lice.
In addition to these treatments, people living in close contact may need preventive treatment. All clothes, bedding, and towels that came in contact with the infected person must be washed or dry cleaned in temperatures greater than 130°F.
If your itchy scalp is due to an allergic reaction, you should refrain from using the product that caused the reaction and speak to a doctor if the reaction is severe.
