Quite a minor one more irratating but driving me nuts!

[CrawlingInMySkin]

I have a really itchy scalp, I have checked for headlice a few times, have looked for dandruff my partner has looked to see if there is any dry skin but nothing. Yet I cant stop scratching it is a painful itch the skin feels sensitive but it is not red or anything what is going on?

could be an excema type thing try a coal tar shampoo helps calm itching .

Thanks my sister has bad excema so I might ask to try her shampoo and see if it helps .

look up psoriasis...I have that and your symptoms sound similar, hth :)

Psoriasis is characterised by silvery flaking scales. Do you have those?

No that is what has confused me there is no odd patches of skin at all it does not flake, look different or feel different. It is exactly the same as usual except it is itching constantly.

Feel behind your ears, do you have lumps? It may be that you have an infection and have increased blood flow to your scalp which is causing the itching.

How long has it been going on for? Are you using any different products on your hair? Or wearing a new hat?

Hi again I have not used any different products it has been going on about two weeks, and I have no lumps behind my ears. However when I just brushed my hair I noticed it seems to be falling out much more than usual, it is very long (past my bum) and thick and I seemed to be getting handfulls out today, I think I may go and ask my gp as it seems to be getting worse. Thanks for all the advice offered and for reading my post
